It’s finally October – my FAVORITE MONTH! My birthday, Halloween, and of course, it’s finally acceptable to make ALL the fall goodies! I am sure all you’ve been seeing lately is pumpkin this and pumpkin that, and usually I like to stray away from the typical and make something a little different. And although this is a pumpkin recipe, which makes me a little basic, I promise this is one that you haven’t seen before!
Enter – my PUMPKIN BANANA BREAD with COCOA CRUMBLE! Pumpkin and chocolate may seem like. strange combo – but trust me, it works! The bread is slightly sweet, and the cocoa crumble is a little bitter from the dark chocolate, which makes them the perfect harmony!
There is no gluten, dairy or nuts in this bread – so you can make it for anyone and everyone! honestly, it would be a great dessert for the thanksgiving table, or the perfect bread to serve at a halloween party! Heck, even the colors are perfect for halloween!
So let’s celebrate October by embracing ALL the pumpkin! I know this bread will certainly be on repeat over here. And after you make it once, I know you won’t be able to resist making it again and again!
