Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9x5-inch loaf pans. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, pumpkin puree, mashed banana, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer until thoroughly combined, creating a smooth and luscious base. (Mixing time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and walnuts. Gradually add this dry mixture to the pumpkin mixture, mixing until just blended. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough bread. (Combining time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle the tops generously with pepitas, adding a delightful crunch and visual appeal. (Distribution time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the top of the loaf springs back lightly when pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. (Baking time: 45-60 minutes)

06

Step

Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. (Cooling time: 2 hours)

For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter.
To ensure even baking, rotate the loaf pans halfway through the baking time.
This pumpkin bread freezes beautifully. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to 2 months.
