A delightful twist on classic banana bread, this recipe incorporates pumpkin and warm spices for a cozy treat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
Lining with parchment makes it easier to remove the loaf.
In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
Use a fork or potato masher for quick mashing.
Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla to the mashed bananas and mix well.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for a uniform batter.
In another bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, flaxseed meal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
Whisking the dry ingredients prevents lumps.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing 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 to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf at 45 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a rack prevents a soggy bottom.
Slice and serve your delicious Spiced Pumpkin Banana Loaf.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey for extra indulgence.
