I'm still on a streak of pumpkin recipes. I love the taste of pumpkin and it is a great way for me to sneak a veggie into my diet. Canned pumpkin is available all year round and it goes on sale this time of year. Try some different ways to use pumpkin beyond pies. This recipe is easy to make and also has a few other healthy ingredients; bananas, coconut mik, and pumpkin seeds. I'm also always on the look out for recipes that use ripe bananas. I am going to bring this loaf to work on Monday for our department meeting. I can't wait to try it.
Banana Pumpkin Breakfast Bread
1 cup unbleached white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 cup pumpkin puree (canned pumpkin)
1 ripe banana
½ cup canned coconut milk
1 teaspoon orange extract
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
½ cup golden raisins
½ cup raisins
1 cup pumpkin seeds
Pre-heat oven to 325 F.
Butter and flour a loaf pan. Sift
the flour, baking soda, baking powder and spices into a bowl. Set aside. In another bowl, combine the pumpkin,
banana, coconut milk, extract, sugar and eggs.
Mix well then add to flour mixture.
Mix in pumpkin seeds and raisins.
Bake for 60-75 minutes or until knife inserted into the center of the
loaf comes out clean. Allow the bread to
cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish
