Rainy Day Bread

When the weather outside looks dreary,

And you have these items sitting in your fridge:


It only seems practical to make this:


That, my friends, is Pumpkin Banana Chocolate Chip Bread. And here's how you make it. First, you need the following ingredients:



Then, you mix the wet ingredients together (in your pretty pink mixer, of course)


Now mix the dry in a separate bowl:



And add them to the wet.  Be sure to mix only until combined:


Should look something like this:




Now pour it into a greased 9x5 pan and suddenly remember that you forgot to add the oil to the wet ingredients. Well, don't follow these instructions exactly...maybe follow the recipe. But yes, I completely forgot to add the oil.  I seriously contemplated pouring the mixture back into the bowl and adding the oil....but then I decided to just skip it. I've made plenty of recipes substituting apple sauce or pumkin puree for oil, so we'll see how it turns out.

End result:

Moist and delicious pumkin/banana/chocolate chip bread. (Actually the recipe I followed did not call for chocolate chips, I just added them for good measure.)



Who needs oil? Not this recipe.
