It never fails. I always end up buying way too many bananas and they end up turning mush right in front of my eyes. I wasn’t about to waste another banana and decided to make banana bread this time.
Since it is the fall season, I love to bake and make the house smell all yummy and warm. I love to spice things up a bit. To spice up this banana bread, I added a little pumpkin spice to it, just to give it a touch of the fall season.
I hope you enjoy it!
Pumpkin Spice Banana Bread
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
4 egg whites (wwhipped to stiff peaks with 1 TBSP sugar)
4-5 medium bananas (mashed)
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups self rising flour
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp salt
1 cup chopped nuts, optional
- Preheat oven to 300. Grease and flour your pans. I used a bundt pan, but you can use 2 loaf pans.
- I first beat the egg whites to stiff peaks with a tablespoon of sugar. I sat them aside.
- Mix your butter and sugar, until they are creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time and mix well. Then add in the milk, vanilla and mashed bananas. Mix well. Next, add in your flour and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until it is blended. Next, I took the bowl of eggs whites and put in a 1/3 of the white to the batter and folded in the egg whites. Once that was mixed in, I added in another 1/3 and folded and then finished off with the rest of the egg whites. Once you have the egg whites blended in with the batter, you then pour the batter into the pan(s). Bake at 300 for at least an hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

- What is your favorite dessert to bake in the fall? If you try this recipe, I would love to know how it turned out for you! Hope you enjoy it!
Banana bread and pumpkin – two of my favorite things! I don’t generally do anything that takes more than one bowl bc I’m lazy like that, but THIS … Yeah, I think we’ll try this! 🙂
I even surprised myself at how well it turned out! I think you will enjoy it. Let me know how it turns out for you! 🙂
Sounds yummy!! Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.
You are most welcome! let me know how it turns out for you. I had another piece of it just a bit ago and I think that I could add a little more pumpkin spice to it and it still not be over powering. 🙂
Once the bananas get to the point of *having* to do something with them, just throw them in your freezer. Then when you want to make something with bananas, all you have to do is thaw them a couple hours. (And be sure to thaw them before peeling or else you will have a hard time!)
Thanks for that tip! I ended up using all of them today, but will definitely remember that for the future. We go through banana spells around here. One week we can’t get enough of them, then no one will touch them for 2 weeks! 🙂
