Pumpkin Banana Bread (with chocolate chips of course)

I needed to use up some over-ripe bananas and wanted to jazz up an average banana bread recipe, so I thought- oooo pumpkin and chocolate chippies!  Except I didn’t have enough chocolate chips, so I improvised with m&m’s…which works out quite nicely– more ooey gooey chocolatey goodness to bite into.

Here is the recipe I found in my search for one to work from.   I baked it for about 20 minutes less than the time called for, so that it would maintain a bit of gooeyness!

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe bananas
• 1 can of pumpkin puree
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/3 cup sugar (half if using the brown sugar splenda mix, which I suggest!)
• Half a stick of unsalted butter
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 3 tsp. cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 or 2 cups chocolate chips or m&ms
