Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas, (225g or ~2 medium bananas)
- 1 cup pumpkin purée, (250g)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar, (67g)
- 1/3 cup light-tasting oil, such as olive, (79ml)
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (180g)
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup optional chopped nuts, or chocolate chips, (170g)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a loaf pan with vegan butter or oil.
- Mash the bananas in a large bowl. It’s okay to leave some chunks for added texture. Stir in the pumpkin, sugar, oil, and vanilla.
- Use a sifter to add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. A sifter helps to break up any clumps, which will decrease the stirring needed when combining everything.
- Mix the batter just until it’s combined. Gently fold in the nuts if you’re using them.
- Spoon the thick batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle a few nuts on top if you'd like. Bake the bread for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean and dry. There may be some moist crumbs on the toothpick.
- Let it cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes before removing it and placing it on a cooling rack. The bread will hold together best if you let it cool completely before slicing it.

Notes
Storage & Reheating
Keep it moist by storing it in a closed container. It’s good at room temperature for 2 days, in the refrigerator for 4 days, or frozen in individual slices for 3 months. This bread is even more delicious if you heat it in the microwave before enjoying your slice!Nutrition
