Tasty Time: Pumpkin Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

We are smack in the middle of Fall and, as you know, people are pumpkin mad! Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pies, pumpkins beers…and I love all of it. No, seriously, I love all of it. It’s one of my favorite flavor profiles and I really look forward each year to more and more of it.

As a result, I thought it was time to have a little pumpkin-laced sweetness. Some goodness for those chilly nights. What goes great with goodness…chocolate. That’s what. Maybe some banana. You know, what, how about some Pumpkin Banana Chocolate Chip Bread?

Yeah, that’ll work. Here are the details.
