I had plans to make banana bread with the overripe bananas I've been waiting on for days. When I went searching for my usual King Arthur Flour banana bread recipe, something made me type pumpkin banana bread instead and luck would have it, King Arthur had a recipe for it! (I used the leftover organic pumpkin in my fridge that was begging me to bake with it).
The banana flavor really came through while I couldn't really taste the pumpkin. Regardless, I enjoyed this moist, hearty but tasty addition to my breakfast repertoire.
Pumpkin Banana Chocolate Chip Bread adapted from King Arthur Flour
- Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) soft butter
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup puréed pumpkin
- 1 cup mashed banana, the riper the better (I used three bananas)
- 2 tablespoons orange juice or water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- Directions:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare loaf pan by spraying with non-stick baking spray.
- 2. In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar together. Add honey, eggs, pumpkin, bananas, water and vanilla and beat together until combined.
- 3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon. Then add to wet ingredients and mix together. Fold in chocolate chips.
- 4. Pour batter into loaf pan and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, uncovered.
- 5. Bake bread for 50 minutes. Then lay a piece of aluminum foil over the top to prevent over browning. Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
