Today’s Pumpkin Banana Bread with chocolate chips is fall quick bread with warming spices and aromatic vanilla elevating the natural sweetness of the bananas and pumpkin.

Pumpkin Banana Bread Recipe

In this soft, tender and rich pumpkin banana bread, sweet, ripe bananas combine with early sweet pumpkin and warm, cozy fall flavors to make a scrumptious and comforting treat perfect for breakfast or an afternoon treat.

My daughter will eat it slathered with apple butter, cinnamon cream cheese or Nutella – or even slice thinly to make a decadent PB&J.

Personally, I just have to warm up each slice, slather it with butter and enjoy it with a cup of hot tea or coffee. It’s the epitome of fall comfort food.

You can swap out some of the mashed banana with mashed pumpkin, or vice versa, as long as the total amount of mashed banana and pumpkin still equals 1 1/3 cups between the two

Note that using more pumpkin will result in a less sweet bread, but you can add a couple extra Tablespoons of sugar to keep this bread sweet.

Store this pumpkin banana bread at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the fridge for up to a week.

You can also freeze this pumpkin banana bread in ziptop freezer bags or your favorite freezer containers for up 3 months – unless sliced, then wrap and freeze individual slices for up to 1 month. (This set of freezer containers is a crazy bargain.)

Kitchen Tools You May Find Helpful

• Loaf pan
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Mixing Bowl
• Wooden spoon or spatula – I like these spatulas because they are one solid piece and don’t have removable heads for bacteria to get trapped underneath. Plus they are heat-resistant and have a lifetime warranty.
• Electric mixer <– this is a great hand mixer if you don’t want to make the investment into a stand mixer

How to Make Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Banana Bread

Preheat oven to 350F

Grease a loaf pan and set aside.

In a large bowl, beat together the mashed banana and pumpkin puree.

Beat in the butter and oil until completely combined, followed by the sugar.

Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.

In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and pumpkin pie spice.

Add the dry ingredients and beat until no dry spots remain.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 55-70 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
