A quick, moist, and forgiving small-batch pumpkin banana bread made with simple pantry staples. Perfect for busy mornings or single servings, this recipe delivers bakery-style texture without the fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (unsalted)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
  2. Mash ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until mostly smooth with small lumps.
  3. Add melted butter, sugar, egg, and pumpkin puree to the bananas. Whisk vigorously until uniform and slightly runny.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Pour dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan, filling it about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out using the parchment sling and place on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Ensure bananas are very ripe (brown/black peels) for maximum sweetness and moisture. Spoon and level flour to avoid dry bread. Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes. Can be made gluten-free with a 1:1 flour blend or vegan using flax eggs and coconut oil.
