Ingredients

    Directions

    Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans and set aside.

    Step 2

    In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

    Step 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

    Step 4

    Stir in the softened butter and pumpkin puree until the batter is smooth. If using walnuts, fold them in at this stage.

    Step 5

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Step 6

    Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Conclusion

    Tips:For an extra moist crumb, try using Greek yogurt or sour cream in place of some of the butter. For a more intense pumpkin flavor, use 3/4 cup of puree instead of 1/2 cup.Store this delicious banana bread at room temperature for up to 3 days or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy it toasted with a pat of butter or as a snack with a cup of coffee!
