That humiliating/slightly horrifying moment when you realize that you don’t have a single pumpkin bread recipe on your blog….
…after nearly four freaking years, you guys.
What is our world even coming to? I don’t even know.
What I do know though is that we should probably just eat an entire loaf of this banana chocolate chip pumpkin bread and try to figure it out.
It’s not running away from your problems, guys. It’s like running straight to them and taking care of business.
Very delicious business. This pumpkin bread RULES!
This Banana Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread features…
- An incredibly soft pumpkin bread base
- Made even SOFTER with the addition of mashed banana

Making the Banana Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
(scroll to the bottom of the post for the full recipe!)
The Batter
For the liquid ingredients: you’re going to need 2 very ripe mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, eggs, coconut sugar (or light brown sugar), a little vegetable oil, and vanilla.
For the dry ingredients: you’re going to need flour, baking soda, a little salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
As per standard quick bread procedure, fold the dry ingredients into the liquid until the batter is just combined.
Don’t forget to fold in ALL the chocolate chips! Most important step obviously.
Baking the Bread
Bake the bread at 350F 50-55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle.
It might be tempting to dig into the bread right away, but make sure you let it cool on a wire cooling rack at least an hour before slicing and digging in!
Storing the Bread
This bread keeps up to 4 days sealed on the countertop. (if it lasts that long!!)
You can also freeze this bread for up to 2 months if you want to make a double or triple batch. It freezes and defrosts beautifully!
Incredibly soft, bursting with pumpkin + banana flavors, and exploding with gooey chocolate. What more could you ask of a humble little loaf of pumpkin bread?
And with that, I do believe that Monday is made.
I think we all know how we’re spending the rest of fall baking season!

Hi there! This looks so yummy!! Is there a way to make this egg free and still as delicious? My little boy has an egg allergy 🙁 thanks in advance!
Sarah says
Hi! You could try using flax eggs (1 part flaxseed and 1 part water to equal about 1/3 cup) or 1/3 cup applesauce in place of the eggs. Good luck! 🙂

I live at about 6,000 ft in CO, did not make any adjustments, and this came out perfect! I had to cook about 1hr 5 min (I have a cast iron loaf pan and did not preheat it). Solid recipe. Thank you!
