Pumpkin Banana Bread

Nothing says its fall quite like adding pumpkin to all your recipes. This pumpkin banana bread is no exception!

This pumpkin banana bread is the moistest, fluffiest cake I’ve ever made! I make it every single autumn and pair it with some honey butter. There is really nothing better than having a slice of this with your coffee in the morning.

The ingredients you’re going to use in this pumpkin banana bread is pumpkin puree, ripened bananas, cane sugar, olive oil, eggs, milk, water, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. If you have pumpkin pie spice you can use that in place of the cinnamon! I think a trick to what makes this bread so moist is the olive oil and pumpkin puree.

I usually make my pumpkin banana bread into one large loaf, but recently I bought this mini loaf pan and have been LOVING it. They turn out to be the size of snack cakes! I cut them in half and it makes for the perfect serving size for a snack, or a whole mini cake is the perfect size for dessert!
