A moist and flavorful pumpkin chocolate chip banana bread made with simple ingredients, no mixer required, and perfect for cozy fall mornings or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup (240 ml) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil (can substitute melted coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (130 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or spoon until mostly smooth but still a little chunky.
  3. Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until combined and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts if using, reserving a handful of chocolate chips to sprinkle on top.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, starting to check at 55 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  9. Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense bread. Use ripe bananas for best moisture and sweetness. Toss chocolate chips in a little flour before folding in to prevent sinking. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly. Cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
