Ingredients

  • 15 oz pumpkin puree see notes
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup mashed banana about 3 medium bananas
  • cup water
  • vanilla extract
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoon pumpkin spice mix
  • 1 cup chocolate chips optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray two 9x5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray before lining them with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with a bit more cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract mashed bananas, water, and sugar in a medium-sized bowl. Mix until combined.
  • In another medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. In several additions, add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring until everything is just combined.
  • Add the chocolate chips, if desired, and mix until they are distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour equal amounts of the batter into each of the prepared loaf pans. A kitchen scale can be helpful.
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick, when inserted into the center of the loaves, comes out clean.

Notes

  • Make sure that you use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling
  • I used mini chocolate chips, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand and/or prefer
