Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup (packed) brown sugar, dark or light
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup mashed banana, (2 bananas)
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Tip: For easier removal, line the pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides to create a sling. Once the bread has baked and cooled, simply lift it out using the parchment.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, pumpkin, banana, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until mostly mixed, but streaks of flour are still showing.
Grab the chocolate chips and remove 1 tablespoon, placing them in a separate dish for later. Add the remaining chocolate chips to the pumpkin banana bread batter, and fold until no more streaks of flour remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips over the top of the bread and bake for 60-70 minutes until the loaf has risen in the center and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing and enjoy!

Notes

For pumpkin banana muffins:

Prepare the banana and pumpkin batter as instructed. Divide between 16 muffin cups lined with muffin liners or sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 400°F for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
