Pumpkin Banana Bread Ingredient Notes:

Bananas: The riper the bananas, the better! Those over-ripe bananas sitting on the counter are perfect for this recipe.

Eggs: You’ll need 3 large eggs

Milk: You will need 1/2 cup of Milk. Use 2% if you have it. 1% is also fine. Skim milk is not recommended.

Pumpkin puree: Be sure to buy plain pumpkin and not pumpkin pie mix. It will be in the baking aisle of the grocery store and while you can find it in abundance in the fall, canned pumpkin is available year round in most grocery stores.

Flour: We used all purpose flour in this recipe and have not tried this recipe with gluten free flour or an other types of flour. If you choose to experiment with other flours, please let us know how the recipe turned out. We recommend following this recipe as it is written unless you have experience with adapting recipes to gluten-free flours.

Chocolate chips: Our personal favorite is Ghiradelli milk chocolate chips, but you can use whatever chocolate chips that you have on hand.

Add-ins: If you’d like to add walnuts, pecans or any other kind of nut, feel free! You could also add in raisins if that’s’s your thing.

Pumpkin Banana Bread Tips and Tricks:

This recipe makes two loaves of Pumpkin Banana Bread. We used two 8×4 inch loaf pans. You could also use two 9×5 inch pans. Baking time will vary based upon type and size of your loaf pans. When a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out with just a few moist crumbs, you’ll know the bread is done. It should take anywhere from 45-60 minutes.

If the bread is browning too quickly, tent the loaf pan with foil until the bread is done baking.

For a beautiful look, make sure to sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top of the bread before placing it in the oven to bake.
