Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (150 g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 medium brown bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup (212 g) 100% pure pumpkin purée, (not pumpkin pie filling)
- ½ cup (85 g) semisweet chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a 9-inch by 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk brown sugar, granulated sugar and melted butter together until butter is absorbed. Add eggs and vanilla. Vigorously whisk until combined. Stir in mashed bananas and pumpkin puree.
- Pour wet ingredients into the large bowl of dry ingredients and mix until no flour pockets remain (avoid over-mixing). Stir in chocolate chips.
- Transfer batter to prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top if desired. Bake at 350° F for 55 to 65 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with little to no crumbs. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing from the pan and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Freeze for up to 3 months. After the loaf has completely cooled, wrap it in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Store in the freezer, then defrost in the refrigerator before serving.
