Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h45m

Yield makes 2 loaves; 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Mash the bananas in a large bowl with a potato masher or fork until smooth, then whisk in the eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, sour cream and vanilla until smooth and combined. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture, then stir the batter together with a rubber spatula until just combined (it's ok if there are a couple small lumps).

Tips for Baking the Best Pumpkin Banana Bread

Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be. Look for bananas with brown spots on the skin. Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give your bread the best flavor. You can make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it, or you can use canned pumpkin puree. Add pumpkin pie spice: Pumpkin pie spice is a blend of spices that is commonly used in pumpkin-flavored desserts. It typically includes cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice. Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined. Bake the bread at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking pumpkin banana bread is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
