Whether for breakfast, snack or weekend brunch Banana Pumpkin Bread is delicious. Perfect autumn loaf and great for using those brown bananas.
I love sneaking in some fruit and veggies where ever possible into my kids diet. With one son who is so fussy – every little bit helps in my opinion. He (and the other 2) love pumpkin taste and they like bread – so this is a definite winner!
I found this recipe and adapted it to be a bit more healthy! Enjoy!
