Pumpkin Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips
What are you supposed to do with those overripe bananas that no one wants to eat because they’re too smushy? Everyone here has had their fill of traditional banana cake, so when I saw the recipe for Vegan Banana Pumpkin Bread from The Hidden Veggies, I knew it was going to be just the Fall recipe I was looking for. I ended up calling it Pumpkin Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips because the pumpkin flavor is way stronger than the banana, and of course, I mixed the chocolate chips into the batter 😀 .

My big difference between our breads is that I made mine gluten free, my loaf pans were a little bigger and I incorporate the chocolate chips into the batter rather than scattering them on top.
This is how my Pumpkin Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips turned out!
Making Pumpkin Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips
This is the recipe you want to double. It’s pretty simple to make – you don’t even need a mixer, the ingredients are ones you already have in the house, and everyone will love it. My family totally did!
Make two. One for now, put the second in the freezer for later.
One for now, put the second in the freezer for later. Makes total sense to me!
Super simple.

Keep in mind that the size of the loaves will depend upon the size of the pans. The bigger the loaf pan, the shallower the bread will be, and the baking time will be shorter.

From The Hidden Veggies – Vegan Banana Pumpkin Bread
Use very ripe bananas. You have to use bananas that have brown spots or have turned completely brown. These bananas are softer and sweeter than green and yellow bananas.
Measure your ingredients carefully. Baking is a science, and small variations in measurements can change the outcome.
Spoon your flour into the measuring cup and level it off with the back of a butter knife. Don’t scoop the flour out of the bag with a measuring cup. This will pack the flour down too much, resulting in too much flour.
Don’t over-stir the batter. You want to stir it enough so you don’t see any dry flour. Over-mixing it will cause it to be chewier.
Bake for at least 50 minutes at 350° F. Baking at a higher temperature will cook the outside faster than the inside, resulting in an undercooked loaf in the center.
