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