Fall also makes me want to bake every day and eat all the seasonal yumminess from salted caramel to pumpkin spice. There is just so much that screams fall and warms you up! This Pumpkin Banana Bread has all of that and more. What’s your go-to fall recipe?
The ingredients for this easy pumpkin bread are kitchen staples just about everyone has on hand. Which makes it really hard NOT to bake up this recipe every week.
Pumpkin Banana Bread Ingredients
- Bananas
- Eggs
- Coconut oil
- Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- Honey
- Sugar
- Flour
- Baking soda
- Baling powder
- Salt
- Cinnamon
- Ground ginger
- Ground nutmeg
- Allspice
If you don’t have all the spices, you can use pumpkin pie spice in a pinch. You’ll use 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice instead of the other spices.
You’re also welcome to add walnuts to this recipe if you like your banana bread to have a little crunch. If so, fold them in gently right before adding your batter to the loaf pan. This helps keep the nuts from sinking to the bottom during baking!
How to Make Pumpkin Banana Bread
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. You’ll need two mixing bowls for this recipe.
- In your larger bowl, combine the bananas, eggs, oil, pumpkin puree, honey, and sugar. Be sure to mix everything really well.
- In a second bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice.
- Then, pour all of your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients. Mix until they’re just combined, but be careful not to overmix! You want a moist pumpkin bread.
- Finally, pour your batter into a greased loaf pan and bake about an hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm or let the bread cool. Enjoy!
You don’t want to overmix your dry and wet ingredients together because it will lead to a flatter, denser loaf. You want to gently fold the flour mixture into the banana and pumpkin mixture until you can no longer see the dry bits.
What to Serve with Pumpkin Banana Bread
Pumpkin Banana Bread is a great fall dessert or special occasion breakfast treat. I prefer to serve mine all alone, warmed up, with a little pat of butter slowly melting into the bread.
If you’re going the dessert route, this Brown Sugar Cinnamon Ice Cream would be a great complement to the loaf! The sweet, creamy ice cream goes great with this pumpkin bread recipe.
Looking for breakfast ideas? This Sausage and Egg Casserole is the best brunch option to go with the sweet banana bread. Mix it together the night before and have an easy brunch in minutes!
