Ultra-Moist Pumpkin Banana Bread: Best 60 Min Recipe

  • Author: Saly
  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings 1x

Description

An ultra-moist pumpkin banana bread that balances earthy pumpkin with sweet ripe bananas. This quick bread is tender, airy, and ready in just 60 minutes without needing a mixer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) pure pumpkin puree
  • 3 large ripe bananas (approx. 1 1/2 cups mashed)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper if desired.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, oil, sugar, and eggs. Whisk until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 50-55 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, tent with aluminum foil after 40 minutes. Test with a toothpick inserted in the center; it should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (at least 20 minutes) before slicing.

Notes

Use very ripe, spotted bananas for maximum sweetness. Do not use pumpkin pie filling; use 100% pure pumpkin puree. Oil is preferred over butter to maintain moisture. Do not refrigerate as it dries out the bread. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
