Ingredient Highlight

Organic Pumpkin Purée

Pumpkin is naturally rich in vitamin A, potassium, and antioxidants like beta-carotene. It also provides soluble fiber, which helps slow down digestion and keep you satisfied for longer. Using pumpkin in baking gives this bread its signature fall flavor while delivering a nutrient boost.

Bananas

Overripe bananas not only sweeten the loaf naturally but also provide potassium, vitamin B6, and prebiotic fibers that feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut. They also add moisture, giving the bread a soft and tender crumb.

Pumpkin Spice Blend

The classic pumpkin spice combination—typically cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves—brings warmth and depth to every bite. Cinnamon has been studied for its potential to support stable blood sugar levels, while ginger may aid digestion. These spices make the loaf flavorful while offering subtle wellness benefits.

Whole Wheat Flour

Using whole wheat flour adds complex carbohydrates and additional fiber to the bread, making it more filling than recipes that rely on refined flour alone. The extra nutrients and hearty texture give this bread staying power as both a breakfast and snack option.

Eggs

Eggs provide high-quality protein along with choline, an essential nutrient for brain health. They help bind the ingredients together, providing structure to the loaf.

Avocado Oil

Avocado oil is a heart-healthy fat with a high smoke point, making it excellent for baking. It provides vitamin E and monounsaturated fats, which support cardiovascular health while keeping the bread moist and tender.

With a line-up of ingredients that bring both flavor and function, this pumpkin spice banana bread is ready to become your new fall favorite. Let’s get baking!
