Cinnamon Crumble Pumpkin Banana Bread

“So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.”

-1 Thessalonians 5:11 NLT

If you believe pumpkin bread and banana bread are two of the best type of sweet breads then I have good news for you. This Cinnamon Crumble Pumpkin Banana Bread is the ultimate fall baking mashup. It’s perfectly moist, warmly spiced, and topped with a buttery cinnamon streusel. Made with ripe bananas and 100% pumpkin purée, it’s rich in flavor and full of sweetness. The crumble topping adds the perfect crunch to contrast the soft, tender loaf. Serve it warm with a pat of butter or on its own for the perfect fall treat to share with family or enjoy with your morning coffee.

Ingredients

  

Pumpkin Banana Bread

• 6 ripe bananas (about 2½ cups mashed)
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
• ½ cup coconut sugar
• ¾ cup unsalted butter melted (1 + ½ sticks)
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1½ tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• ¼ tsp cloves
• ½ tsp salt

Cinnamon Crumble Topping

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter melted

Method

 

1. Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease a large cake loaf pan and set aside.

Make cinnamon crumble

1. In a small bowl, mix together flour, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt.
2. Pour over melted butter and mix well until crumbly. Set aside.

Prepare pumpkin banana bread batter

1. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas well until mostly smooth.
2. Whisk in pumpkin purée, sugars, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
4. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and fold until just combined. Do not over mix!
5. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon crumble topping over the loaf.
6. Bake for 60-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the crumble starts to brown too much, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking.
7. Let the loaf cool for 15 minutes before transferring to a rack. Slice thickly and serve warm.
