Ingredients
- 3 medium very ripe bananas, well mashed (about 1 1/4 cups)
- 1/2 cup canned pure pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar or brown sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten & 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour & 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice & 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Directions
1
Mash and mix wet ingredients
In a large bowl, mash bananas. Whisk in pumpkin puree, melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla.
2
Fold dry ingredients
Sprinkle flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt over wet mixture. Fold gently with a spatula just until flour streaks disappear.
3
Bake until golden
Pour into a buttered 8x4-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55–60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
💡 CHEF'S PRO TIPS
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for cleaner slicing.

This has completely replaced my normal avocado toast! The beans blend so well you cannot even tell, and I stay full until lunchtime!

Great trick for adding protein without cooking eggs on busy mornings. Added a pinch of red pepper flakes and lemon zest—delicious.
