What You’ll Need

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make this pumpkin bread recipe at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full details.

• Butter– I generally use salted butter for all of my recipes, unsalted works fine as well.
• Granulated Sugar– This fine sugar gives the bread its sweetness.
• Bananas– Use ripe bananas for the banana bread. Bananas should be black spotted for best results.
• Eggs– For consistency, I use large eggs in my recipes.
• Vanilla- For best tasting results use pure vanilla.
• Pumpkin Puree– Find pumpkin puree in the baking isle of the grocery store. Make sure you don’t pick up pumpkin pie filling.
• All Purpose Flour– Flour is the main dry ingredient in the banana bread.
• Ground Cinnamon– Cinnamon is a nice spice in banana bread.
• Baking Soda– Baking soda helps the bread rise during baking.
• Mini Chocolate Chips– Any chocolate chips work great, mini are my favorite.

How To Make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Preheat Oven and Prepare Bread Pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a large bread pan with cooking spray.

Make Pumpkin Bread Batter. Place butter and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined then add bananas, eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined then add pumpkin, stirring well. Add flour, baking soda and chocolate chips, stirring to combine. Transfer batter to pan spreading evenly.

Bake. Bake for 1 hour, or until baked though. Let cool completely before transferring and cutting into slices.

Tips For The Best Banana Bread

• Use Ripe Bananas. Bananas that you use for your banana bread should be overly ripe, lots of black spotted areas on peel.
• How To Preserve Ripe Bananas. To store ripe bananas: freeze with or without the peel. Return to room temperature before baking.
• Fold Bread Ingredients Carefully. Carefully fold dry and wet ingredients together for a tender crumb.
• Homemade Gift. Makes a great gift for family and friends for the holidays too. Wrap in some nice cellophane and a bow and you’ve got yourself a beautiful homemade gift.

How To Serve

Serve banana bread room temperature cut into slices. Warm and spread with butter for another delicious option.

Leftovers

Store any leftover banana bread slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

Freezing Instructions

To freeze pumpkin bread, make sure it has cooled completely then place into an airtight freezer bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw completely before enjoying.
