Philly-Style Pumpkin Banana Bread Recipe

  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup toasted walnuts
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 banana, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 7×3-inch loaf pans with 2 teaspoons butter.
  2. Mix flour, sugar, walnuts, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger together in a large bowl. Cube 2 tablespoons butter into the bowl.
  3. Whisk pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, banana, and honey together in a bowl until smooth. Fold in flour mixture just until blended. Pour into the prepared loaf pans.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes; invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
