Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (248g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
- ½ cup (119g) vegetable oil
- ¾ cup (180g) pumpkin puree
- 2 medium overripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray or greasing and flouring it.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, vegetable oil, pumpkin puree, and mashed bananas. Stir using a wooden spoon, spatula, or mixer until well mixed.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, then fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack or slicing to serve.
Notes
Ensure the bananas are really ripe for maximum sweetness.
This bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For added texture, consider adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
