- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 2 large bananas
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of honey
- 1/3 cup of canola oil
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease and flour two 8 x 4 loaf pans.
- Mash the banana into a mixing bowl using a potato masher or a fork.
- In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices.
- Add the pumpkin, sugar, honey, oil and eggs to the mashed banana.
- Stir in the pumpkin and banana mixture to the flour and spices mixture until just combined. Add chopped walnuts. Be careful not to over mix.

- Use overripe bananas. They are naturally sweeter and also contain more antioxidants.
- Grease your loaf pan or line it with parchment so that it is easy to remove.
- The bread is cooked when an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the pumpkin banana bread cool completely before slicing.
