Double chocolate chip loaf (vegan friendly)

I made this Double chocolate chip loaf in muffin form a little while back because I was bringing them to a Thanksgiving dinner party. They turned out so well that I just had to make it again! I ended up making it in loaf form this time.

Anyways, as I saying, I brought this loaf in muffin form to a Thanksgiving dinner because my cousin really wanted something chocolatey for dessert. I guess by now he was tired of all the pumpkin goodies he’s been having from all the family gatherings he’s been at. To be honest, I still wanted to bring a pumpkin based treat because that’s what I think of when I think of Thanksgiving but I’m glad that I ended up listening to him because there were far too many pumpkin based deliciousness at the party already. Plus, the fact that it was the only chocolate dessert there made it a huge hit! 🙂

I mean come on, how could you resist this chocolatey batter?
