Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

August 19, 2015 by Alli 6 Comments

BEST EVER pumpkin chocolate chip banana bread - so moist!

Allow me to let you in on a little secret… I hate pumpkin. Truly, truly hate it. I know all you pumpkin-lovers are shocked and horrified right now. You all wait in anticipation for Autumn, just so you can get your pumpkin spice kick.

Well, I happen to think it’s gross. I don’t like the smell, the texture, the taste… anything! But, knowing how popular pumpkin is (and how crazy you pumpkin-obsessors can get about it), I knew I had to give it a try in a recipe!

So here’s what I came up with: pumpkin chocolate chip banana bread. I love banana bread, and I love chocolate… so it seemed like a good idea.

This is the best pumpkin chocolate chip banana bread ever! So moist and yummy!

And boy, was I right! I never thought I’d enjoy pumpkin, but it paired so perfectly with the banana. This bread is super duper moist and delicious. I could not. stop. eating. it. We devoured the first loaf so fast, we made another one just a couple days later… which also disappeared. Trust me, you want to try this!

It comes together so easily, as well. Just mix the wet ingredients in one bowl, and the dry in another.

This recipe for pumpkin chocolate chip banana bread is so moist and delicious!

Combine them, add chocolate chips, and pour it in the pan! It bakes for about an hour, so you might want to distract yourself with something else, so you don’t end up staring at the oven, counting down the minutes…

Delicious recipe for pumpkin chocolate chip banana bread - so moist!

For our bread, I used Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips. This is no sponsored post, but I will be an advertisement for those chocolate chips any day. They make a big difference! I’m a milk chocolate gal through and through, and these are my total fave.

But if you’re a weird pumpkin-lover, you might also be a weird dark-chocolate lover, so just use whatever you like best. And if you’re super crazy, you could also leave out the chocolate, or maybe even add some nuts!

Moist and delicious pumpkin chocolate chip banana bread - yum!

    Made this for the first time yesterday. I may never go back to “plain” banana bread again. Used chopped pecans instead of chocolate chips ( not fond of bananas and chocolate or pumpkin and chocolate). Fabulous bread. Thanks for sharing. Definitely a keeper.

    This was delicious! I have made many a loaf of banana/pumpkin bread recipes and this is a new fav! Very moist and flavorful. I also subbed half the oil for applesauce and it turned out great!
