Instructions
Pumpkin Spice Banana Bread
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 9x5-inch bread pan with parchment paper, creating "handles" that hang over the sides. Then spray the pan with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, mash the banana using a fork. Add the pumpkin puree, sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract and whisk until fully combined.
- Add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt and fold together using a rubber spatula just until combined and you see no more white flour.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bread pan and then quickly make the pumpkin spice sugar.
Pumpkin Spice Sugar
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.*You could also use 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice if you have it.
- Sprinkle over the top of the bread and bake for 40-50 minutes, using a toothpick to check for doneness (the toothpick should come out clean). Cool for 30 minutes in the pan and then use the parchment paper "handles" to remove the bread. Serve warm or continue to let the bread cool on a wire rack.
- Keep any leftovers in an airtight continer in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Notes
Bread Pan: Line your 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, creating "handles" that hang over the sides. Then spray the pan with non-stick spray.
Measuring Flour: To help ensure you don’t add extra flour, follow these three simple steps: 1) Fluff up the flour using a fork. 2) Spoon the flour into your measuring cup. 3) Scrape a knife across the top of the measuring cup to level out the flour.
Folding: When we are ready to combine the wet and dry ingredients we will “fold” them together just until you see no more white flour. Folding: This means we carefully combine our ingredients without stirring or beating.
Pumpkin Spice: If you do not have pumpkin pie spice at home, you can easily make your own. Here is my recipe for how to make your own pumpkin spice.
