Servings: 8–10 slices
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 50–60 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (or any neutral oil)
• 1/4 cup plant-based milk (like almond or soy milk)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves (optional, for extra warmth)
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

1. Combine the Wet Ingredients:

• In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.

1. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined (avoid over-mixing). Fold in the nuts and chocolate chips if using.

1. Bake:

• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

1. Cool and Serve:

• Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Tips:

• For Extra Moisture: Add 1/4 cup applesauce or an extra banana if you like your bread extra moist.
• Sweetness Level: Adjust the sugar to taste, or substitute with coconut sugar for a deeper caramel flavor.
