Pumpkin Spice Banana Bread

Autumn is the perfect time for all the pumpkin things. Pumpkin spice this and that is everywhere, but I’m not the hugest fan of it by itself, so I’ve been fooling around with adding it to other things. Like banana bread. And you can probably guess by the fact that this recipe is on my blog that this pumpkin spice banana bread is a keeper in my opinion! It’s not too pumpkin-y, and not too spicy. But you can make it more of both, if you like!

The ingredients.

Bananas & pumpkin. I find the ratio of bananas to pumpkin in this recipe to be just right. If you’d like your bread a little more pumpkin-y, you can reduce the amount of bananas to two and up the pumpkin to 1 cup. This will also work vise versa, if you want more banana flavor than pumpkin flavor. A medium-sized banana equals about 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree.

Eggs. I have not tried this recipe with an egg replacer. However, based on my experience with banana breads and eggs, it should pretty well with one. I would use flax eggs, or more banana or pumpkin.

Sweetener. I love Azure Standard’s organic coconut sugar in this pumpkin spice banana bread! If you’re looking for something with no added sugar, you can leave the sugar out. Just note that the bread won’t be as sweet (surprise!). You might want to add another 1/4 cup cassava flour instead of the sugar, as well.

Flours. I haven’t tried any other flours in this recipe. Since going grain-free, cassava and coconut have become my favorite baking flours and they make such a wonderful banana bread! Feel free to mess around with the cassava, trading a little for almond flour, if you want. Just be aware that this will change the texture of the finished loaf.

Spices. You can sub the cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg for any pumpkin pie spice blend that you love. If you don’t like one of the spices, you can leave it out as well. Or up the quantity called for if you really like things pumpkin spicy! I personally love all the ginger, but I tamed it back in this recipe for the sake of more normal people. 😉

More pumpkin goodness.
