Pumpkin pecan banana bread




Ingredients
  • 3 bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup 100% pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup organic unsalted butter, softened (can also substitute coconut oil)
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 tsp each pure almond extract and vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp each salt, baking soda, baking powder
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp sugar in the raw
  • ⅓ cup chopped pecans (optional)



Directions


  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Cream butter, eggs, extracts and honey in a large bowl using a mixer
  3. Add pumpkin puree and mashed bananas and beat until smooth
  4. Combine dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and 1 tsp cinnamon) in separate bowl and gradually add to wet mixture
  5. Fold in pecans
  6. Pour batter into (greased) loaf pan
  7. In a small bowl or ramekin, combine 1 tsp cinnamon and 2 tsp raw sugar. Then sprinkle this mixture on the top of the bread
  8. Bake for 45-55 minutes (or until center comes out clean with a toothpick)
  9. Remove from pan and allow to cool before slicing


I would count 1 slice (or muffin) as 1 yellow substitute.

P.S. If making muffins, reduce the bake time to 18-20 minutes
