Paleo Pumpkin Banana Bread
Description
Paleo Pumpkin Banana Bread is a moist quick bread integrating ripe mashed bananas and pumpkin puree as its moistening fruit base. The recipe uses coconut flour as a grain-free alternative, combined with pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and baking soda for leavening. Large eggs and pure maple syrup provide structure and sweetness.
Chopped pecans and chocolate chips contribute texture and bursts of nutty and sweet flavors throughout the bread. The batter is baked in a parchment-lined 9” x 5” loaf pan at 350°F until a clean-test indicates doneness, generally 45 to 60 minutes. Cooling before slicing ensures clean cuts and proper crumb.
This bread makes a suitable snack or breakfast item reflecting fall flavors. The use of coconut flour requires precise measurement and thorough mixing to achieve the correct consistency. Optional vanilla adds aromatic depth but is not necessary.
Ingredients
- 3 banana mashed, large, ripe
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 3 egg large
- 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract optional, pure
- ⅔ cup coconut flour
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt sea salt
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9” x 5” loaf pan with parchment papers.
- Mash the bananas thoroughly in a mixing bowl until creamy (you can leave them slightly chunky if you’d like).
- Whisk in the pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract and pure maple syrup until well-combined.
- Add the coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice (or ground cinnamon), baking powder, baking soda sea salt, chocolate chips, and pecans (dry ingredients) and mix until well-combined.
- Transfer the banana bread batter to the parchment-lined baking pan and sprinkle with additional chocolate chips and chopped pecans if desired.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes (I do 55), or until the bread tests clean.
- Allow the bread to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
