Low Calorie Pumpkin Banana Bread Recipe

Ingredients for 12 servings | Total time: 1 hour 25 minutes

• 1 1/2 cup of almond flour
• 3 large ripe bananas (mashed)
• 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons of melted butter ( light)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• dash of salt
• 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda

How To Make Pumpkin Banana Bread

Preheat the oven at 325F and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with baking spray or you could line it with a baking sheet. Next, combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl. They are the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and pumpkin spice, whisk and set aside.

In another bowl, mix the maple syrup, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree and mashed bananas until well combined with a hand mixer on medium speed. 

Now it’s time to pour in the flour mixture and continue to beat on medium until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Make sure not to over mix, we don’t want any gluten in there or make your bread come out tough or chewy.

Pour your batter into your greased pan and bake for 50 minutes to an hour. Insert a toothpick and if it comes out clean, your pumpkin bread is done. 

Remove it from the oven and let it cool completely before removing it from the baking pan or slicing.

I sometimes throw in some raisins but then I omit the maple syrup cause we don’t want too much sugar in there.
