Gluten-Free Chocolate Loaf

I love anything that has chocolate in it and this recipe is perfect for a someone with a sweet tooth. I used monkfruit and yacon syrup to sweeten the loaf. The syrup has a molasses-like dark brown coloring and it is a natural sweetening agent extracted from the tuberous roots of the yacon plant. The combination of yacon syrup and monkfruit adds natural sweetness without causing the blood sugar levels to rise. If you don’t have yacon syrup on hand, you can use honey or maple syrup. Enjoy this loaf for breakfast or dessert and serve it with berries!
