A moist and flavorful quick bread combining the sweetness of pumpkin and banana.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed pumpkin (canned, not pie filling)
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Stir in the mashed pumpkin and mashed bananas until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 55-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
- Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
- You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
