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 pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 very ripe bananas
4 large eggs
2 cups sugar
One 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
6 tablespoons raw pepitas

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 9 by 5-inch loaf pans with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the longer sides, then spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl until combined. 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).
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Top each loaf with 3 tablespoons of pepitas. Bake in the center of the oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean and each loaf reaches an internal temperature of 200 to 205 degrees F, 60 to 75 minutes.
  • Let cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then use the parchment paper overhang to remove each loaf from the pan. Let cool completely on a wire rack, about 1 1/2 hours.

Tips:

  • For the most moist and flavorful bread, use ripe bananas and pumpkin puree. You can use canned pumpkin puree or make your own by roasting a pumpkin and pureeing it.
  • Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour will make the bread dry and dense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the bread.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the bread to set.

Conclusion:

This gooey pumpkin banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With its moist texture, sweet pumpkin flavor, and hints of banana, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
