And…Happy Cyber Monday!
Ok, I’m totally going to stop with all of the fake holidays now. Unless you’ve found a great deal and you were planning on sending me a gift…in which case, I’ll keep celebrating.
Celebrations call for Treats and booze. So, I made you this!
Bourbon-Spiked Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Banana Bread. Or as I like to call it… ALL THE THINGS!! Or…Breakfast!
I’m not a huge fan of things that taste like you’re taking shots, so trust me when I say the Bourbon in this is subtle. If you like a little more of a *hint* then add 1 Tbs. more of the Bourbon. Otherwise, the flavors meld perfectly together.
Try to use mini chocolate chips. I know that craters of chocolate are usually better, but the mini chocolate chips are adorable and they disperse so nicely in the batter. You get some in every bite. Plus, something about mini chips looks more appropriate in breakfast food. Like, adorable little chocolate bits are perfectly acceptable, but large chunks of chocolate are going to get you dirty looks because that’s actually more dessert than breakfast.
Don’t stare at me, I’m eating chocolate for breakfast. Look, they’re mini chips so it’s ok. Pass the Bourbon. Shots! Shots! Shots!
I love the pumpkin mixed with the banana. It makes it taste a little more like fall. And it cuts the sweetness a bit too. I think that the flavor combo is perfection.
Hey, these would make adorable mini loaf gifts…*hint hint.*
Enjoy!
The irony of a title that takes five minutes to say for a QUICKbread recipe is NOT lost on me!
Shots, shots, shots! Hahaha! And I know it’s not scotch, but I’m totally saying that in my head as Ron Burgundy! My breads that I made for T.Day came out edible, but not quite how I wanted so it’s back to the drawing board for now. But let me tell you, my family (and the guys at work) made short work of the leftovers! Haha! Actually, one of the nurses from the ER just swung by my department to see if I baked anything today! Haha! Love it!
What brand of mini chips do you use? I’ve got the ones from Kroger and they suck some major bourbon!

I think these were Nestle mini chips! But I also love the Ghirardelli ones if I can find one (minis are hard to come by!)!
I’m Ron Burgundy?
