Chocolate chip banana pumpkin bread perfect for this weekend

My daughter noticed the overripe bananas first thing this morning and begged to bake banana bread! Since we are in the thick of autumn, I couldn’t help but add some pumpkin to my usual banana bread recipe for an additional healthy twist.

My daughter gathered all the ingredients, unpeeled and mashed the bananas, stirred with all her might and ate the chocolate chips while also sprinkling them in. The house smelled amazing while the bread was baking, and it turned out to be one of my family’s most favorite recipes yet!

A perfect treat for the weekend ahead.
