Banana Pumpkin Loaf

Banana Pumpkin Loaf blends ripe banana sweetness with earthy pumpkin for a moist, tender crumb and gentle warmth from cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Brown sugar and olive oil keep it plush and rich without being heavy, ideal for breakfast with coffee or an afternoon snack. Add nuts or chocolate chips to make it your own.

Banana Pumpkin Loaf
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together banana, pumpkin, brown sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice until well combined. Add the flour and baking soda, then whisk until incorporated and no large flour clumps remain.

  3. 3

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
