This recipe creates a moist, spiced pumpkin bread by combining pumpkin puree, mashed bananas, and a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. The batter is enriched with eggs, oil, and sugar, then folded with chopped walnuts before baking in a loaf pan until golden and set.
Ingredients
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the white sugar and vegetable oil until they are well blended. Add the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree and mashed ripe bananas until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground allspice. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts. Pour the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
