Description

Moist, warmly spiced Pumpkin Banana Bread made with ripe bananas and pure pumpkin puree. Perfect for cozy breakfasts or fall desserts.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed

  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1 ½ tsp cinnamon

  • ½ tsp nutmeg

  • ¼ tsp ground cloves


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, sugars, and vanilla until smooth.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.

  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix).

  • Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.

  • Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for the sweetest, richest flavor.

Add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a cinnamon sugar topping for variety.

Store wrapped at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate up to a week.

Freeze slices individually for up to 2 months; thaw overnight for a quick breakfast.
