A delightful twist on classic banana bread, incorporating the rich flavors of pumpkin and warm spices.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
Using parchment paper can make removing the loaf easier.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Crack the eggs into a separate bowl first to avoid shell pieces.
Mash the ripe bananas and stir them into the mixture along with the pumpkin puree.
Use a fork to mash the bananas for a smoother texture.
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
Sifting helps to evenly distribute the baking soda and spices.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf at the 50-minute mark to prevent overbaking.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the bottom from becoming soggy.
Slice and serve your Spiced Pumpkin Banana Loaf with your favorite beverage. Enjoy!
