Pumpkin-Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

This is flavor perfection in one bite!  Everything blends absolutely beautiful in a perfect harmony of flavors.  Enjoy!

Recipe yields two large loaves

Ingredients:

-2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature 

-2 cups sugar

-4 large eggs

-4 overripe bananas

-2 tsp vanilla extract

-1 (15oz) can pumpkin puree

-2 tsp cinnamon

-2 tsp baking soda

-4 cups flour

-2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Generously coat the bottom and sides of 9x5 loaf pans with baking spray (the one with flour and butter).  Set aside.

Cream butter and sugar in your mixing bowl.  Add the eggs, one at a time, bananas (I usually just drop big chunks of it in there) and vanilla.  Mix very well.  Add the pumpkin, cinnamon, baking soda and flour, half of cup at a time.  Stir in the chocolate chips.

Pour into prepared pans.  Bake in preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.

Remove from oven onto wire rack and cool in the pan for 15 minutes.  Remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack. Slice and enjoy!
