Best Traditional Style Banana and Pumpkin Bread

I love Banana bread and pumpkin really goes well when added in. This is always a favorite when I share with friends, family and children.


You will need:


1/3 cup soft butter
3 ripe bananas
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda (dissolved in cold water)
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg


Preheat oven to 350

Combine and mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix all moist ingredients in a second bowl. Pour moist ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.

A) to make banana loaf - pour batter into a greased tin and bake for 40-50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean

B) to make muffins - place muffin cups into muffin tins, spoon out batter to fill cups approximately halfway full. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.



This recipe is also good to add dried pumpkin seeds/sunflower seeds/nuts to the top right before placing into the oven but I would not recommend adding chocolate chips/chunks to this because of the spices used.
