¾ cup pumpkin purée
2 large eggs
½ cup melted butter
? cup brown sugar
? cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 tsp pumpkin spice
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ cup brown sugar For the Cinnamon Swirl
1 ½ tsp cinnamon For the Cinnamon Swirl
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, pumpkin purée, eggs, melted butter, sugars, and vanilla until smooth.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Step 4
In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon and brown sugar.
Step 5
Pour half the batter into the pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over it. Add the rest of the batter on top, then the remaining swirl. Use a knife to gently swirl it through the batter.
Step 6
Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are fine). If the top browns too fast, loosely cover with foil at the 40-minute mark.
Step 7
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
