Wet Ingredients
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed Ensure they are ripe for sweetness.
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup sugar Can substitute with coconut sugar or maple syrup.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Slowly add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution but avoiding overmixing.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve!

Notes

To keep your Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Banana Bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. It can be refrigerated for about a week or frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave individual slices for about 15-20 seconds or place a thawed loaf in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
