“I've made this twice now - always a winner! I reduce the sugar but add in chopped vegan dark choc. For the topping I add chia seeds and pumpkin seeds also (by replacing the extra walnuts). Works very well with any dairy free milk. Question: I've now been asked” — a cook, 5.0★
“Hi Jeanine, I baked this bread this morning. I have issues with the outer layer of the bread being hard. I wondered if it’s because I replaced walnuts with a combination of pumpkin seeds, almonds and chocolate chips (1/2 cup)? As I don’t have enough maple syru” — a cook, 5.0★
