Sweet treats disguising themselves as bread aren’t tricking anyone and I love it. This delicious pumpkin banana bread combines everything I adore about a traditional banana bread with all the amazing flavors of fall. The bananas make this the moistest and most tender pumpkin bread you will ever have.
A perfect balance of banana and pumpkin. The pumpkin flavor is soft and subtle, giving the bread a lovely overall spice flavor that makes you feel warm and cozy like a fall evening.
Ideal for a delicious bread loaf, warm out of the oven with a salted butter for that perfect balance of flavors. You could even transform this into a sweet and savory muffin topped with a light cream cheese icing or drizzle. The possibilities are endless.
Make extras to share with friends and neighbors, you will be the hit of block.
