5 from 4 reviews

This Pumpkin Banana Bread is incredibly moist and tender, made with ripe bananas, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and a touch of warm pumpkin pie spice. I love how the sweetness of the bananas complements the pumpkin without either flavor overpowering the other. The batter comes together in one bowl, making this an easy quick bread to whip up for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a little something sweet after dinner.

  • Total Time: 1 Hour 5 Minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 Slices 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6oz (3/4 Cup) Mashed Ripe Bananas
  • 4oz (1/2 Cup) Butter, melted
  • 100 grams (1/2 Cup) Brown Sugar
  • 100 grams (1/2 Cup) Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Large Eggs, at room temp.
  • 8oz (1 Cup) Pumpkin Puree
  • 250 grams (2 Cups) All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C and grease a 9" X 5" loaf pan and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl mash the banana then add the butter, sugars, vanilla extract, eggs, and pumpkin puree. Mix until fully combined.
  3. Place a sieve over the wet ingredients and sift in the dry ingredients; flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Then use a spatula to gently fold to combine. Do not over mix, overmixing creates a tough bread. 
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-55 minutes or until the bread bounces back when you touch the top gently or a toothpick inserted comes out with no wet crumbs. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes then remove from pan to cool on wire rack completely. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • Freezing: Once baked and fully cooled wrap the whole loaf or wrap slices of bread in plastic wrap, twice, tightly. This helps prevent freezer burn. Store them in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to three months.
  • Thawing: Let the slices of bread thaw on the counter at room temperature or warm in a 300F oven for a few minutes before serving.
