Dark Chocolate and Candied Orange Bread ~

A simple but decadent baked bread studded with chunks of rich cholate and citrusy candied orange.

The classic combination of citrusy sweet orange and dark chocolate pairs equally well with a hot cup of coffee or tea at brunch as it does with a glass of red wine for dessert.

This dark chocolate and candied orange quick bread is easy to make, oil-free, dairy-free, and vegan.

Slightly sweet, a little savory, pleasingly aromatic, and loaded with flavor. The recipe yields one large round loaf.

There is just something about citrus flavors paired with chocolate…

For me, this bread tastes like the holidays and I definitely plan to include it in the Christmas morning brunch spread.

My husband completely agreed but then quickly added that there’s no need to wait until December to make it again; he would be happy to eat this bread any time of year. 🙂

How to Make Dark Chocolate and Candied Orange Bread

STEP ONE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

For the flax egg:

STEP THREE: In a measuring cup, add the unsweetened almond milk and lemon juice. Stir to combine and set aside.

For the bread dough:

STEP FOUR: Into a large mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, sea salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk to combine.

STEP FIVE: Add butter then use your hands to rub it into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly.

STEP SIX: Stir in dark chocolate and candied orange peel.

STEP SEVEN: Add prepared flax mixture and buttermilk. Stir just until incorporated.

STEP EIGHT: Transfer dough to the prepared baking sheet and arrange in a round shape approximately 7-8 inches in diameter.
