Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2/3 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 5 tbsp melted butter, cooled
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (optional)

Add-ins

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips, divided (3/4 cup for batter, 1/4 cup for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bread pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Whisk in the egg, then add the melted butter, vanilla extract, canned pumpkin, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined for a smooth, flavorful base.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sea salt, baking soda, and baking powder. If using, add the pumpkin pie spice now to infuse warm seasonal flavors.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry: Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and gently stir until just combined to avoid overmixing which can make the bread dense.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in 3/4 cup of dark chocolate chips into the batter evenly. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips on top for a decorative touch.
  6. Bake the Bread: Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan before slicing to ensure clean cuts and optimal texture.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Optionally adjust pumpkin pie spice to taste or omit for a milder flavor.
  • Make sure the melted butter is cooled to avoid cooking the egg when mixing.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • Store leftovers wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
