Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (VG) — Charlotte Cohen Cooks
7 steps
Prep:20minCook:1h
This recipe has all the joy of banana bread but with the addition of Autumnal flavours - perfect with a cup of tea on a rainy day.
Pumpkin Butter (very different to pumpkin seed butter) is basically spiced pumpkin puree which is reduced down into a thick consistency. It is difficult to find in the UK and can be expensive. For this reason I recommend you make it yourself, as it’s very simple and can be used in lots of different Autumnal dishes, cakes & cookies. It can also be made in advance and kept in sterilised jars for a long time, like jams, chutneys etc.
The time in the oven can be quite variable so pay attention to the cooking instructions below. It is supposed to be a very moist cake though so do try not to overcook it or you’ll lose the lovely gooey-ness.
