How to make pumpkin banana walnut bread

You’ll want to preheat your oven to 350 and grease your loaf pan. Or use parchment paper to line your pan so it doesn’t stick.

You’ll need two large bowls. One for dry ingredients and one for wet ingredients. Start by combining all your dry ingredients first. Flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, crushed walnuts, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ground ginger.

In the other bowl add your two eggs and whisk them together and then whisk in your melted butter. Next, add your mashed bananas and pumpkin puree.

Bake your pumpkin banana walnut bread for 50-60 minutes. Use a tooth pick to check to make sure its baked all the way through. The tooth pick should come out clean. Lastly, let your loaf cool down for 10-15 minutes before removing from the pan.

Tips

  • Make sure you use very ripe banana’s. The riper they are, the sweeter. You want thing to look pretty dark and brown when you make banana bread.
  • If the inside is still not cooked through but the top is getting too brown, place a piece of foil over the top to prevent it from burning.
  • Do not over mix your batter. This is so important. It can cause your bread to come out too dense & rubbery instead of moist and fluffy.
