Ingredients

To make this easy pumpkin banana bread recipe, you will need ripe bananas, ones whose skin has turned dark or has a lot of dark spots. All purpose flour, almond milk, sugar, oil, vanilla extract, and vinegar are used along with some baking soda and baking powder as a leavening agent. Pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice adds flavor.

Instructions

While you prepare the mix for the bread, preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with the help of a fork or a potato masher. Then add all the wet and dry ingredients in the bowl except the walnuts and pumpkin puree.

With the help of a whisk mix all the ingredients. Add the pumpkin puree and chopped walnuts and mix it well. Transfer the batter into a loaf pan. Bake the pumpkin banana bread for about 40 minutes at the temperature of 350°F.

You can insert a butter knife at the center of the bread to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, banana bread is done, else you can bake it for a few more minutes.Let the bread cool down for about 15-20 minutes in the loaf pan.

Run a silicone spatula on the sides if needed and invert the loaf pan and gently remove the pumpkin banana bread. Place it on the cooling rack to let it cool down completely.

Once it cools down, you can slice it with a serrated knife or an electric knife. You can apply some frosting if you prefer. Enjoy it with your morning coffee or as a snack.

Substitutions

• Plant based milk - almond milk or any other plant based milk can be used.
• Brown sugar - use brown sugar instead of cane sugar.
• Nuts - use pecans instead of walnuts

Variations

• Nut-free - skip the walnuts to make nut free pumpkin banana bread.
• Chocolate chips - add some chocolate chips along with nuts to make chocolate chip pumpkin banana bread.

Equipment

To make the banana bread batter, a large bowl and a whisk is all you will need. I have made the bread in a 9 inch by 5 inch loaf pan.

Once the bread is removed from the loaf pan, you can let it cool down completely on a wire rack and slice it with a serrated knife or an electric knife.

Storage

Pumpkin banana bread can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Slice it when you want to eat it, else the slices can dry up a little bit.

You can also freeze the whole pumpkin banana bread or slice it and freeze it in freezer bag or containers so that you can remove only as many slices as you need. You can defrost the frozen banana pumpkin bread in the microwave.
