Pumpkin Banana Bread With Chocolate Chips

1

I like to squeeze out excess moisture from canned pumpkin puree by wrapping it in linen or a cloth. It significantly improves bread texture.

2

Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl and add to wet. Slowly mix until combined. Scrape in chocolate chips.

3

Soft, sticky batter must be spooned into the pan. Doesn't pour well. Batter into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.

4

Carve a small hole in the bread. Pumpkin banana bread rose more on one side this time because I didn't cut properly.

When a toothpick is inserted in the centre, it should come out clean, dry, or with a few breadcrumbs after baking for 55 to 1 hour.

Open the oven only if the top is burning. Cover with aluminium foil quickly. Cool the bread on a wire rack after 15 minutes in the tin.
