    It is always such an amazing feeling when we get back into the kitchen after spending time away from there during summer vacations or holidays—it fills me with so much happiness because I know that means fall is right around the corner. I love trying out new vegan pumpkin recipes. This time I tried my hands on this vegan pumpkin banana bread.  

    Ingredients You Need 

    Just a few simple ingredients will give it such an interesting flavor and make you want to keep eating! 

    • Bananas: The browner the better.  
    • Pumpkin Puree: I am using canned pumpkin puree you can use freshly homemade too. 
    •  Vegan Buttermilk: It is a mixture of soy milk and apple cider vinegar. 
    • Aquafaba: Aquafaba is the liquid from a can of chickpeas and when you whip aquafaba, it makes an incredible foamy texture. This acts as a great substitute for eggs.  
    • Oil: You can use any plant-based oil. I am using canola oil. 
    • Brown sugar: This will not only add sweetness but also make your bread soft and moist.  
    • Flour: I am using all-purpose flour. 
    • Baking soda: Just make sure it is fresh to help the bread a good rise.  
    • Salt: will help to bring out the best flavors in the bread. 
    • Pumpkin spice: A spice mix of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. This will take your bread to a next level of aroma and flavor.

    How To Make Vegan Pumpkin Banana Bread

    Preparation

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Arrange a rack in the middle of your oven, this is because bread takes a longer time to cook. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and let it hang over long sides for easier removal of bread. 

    Mash a Banana and in a septate bowl stir soy milk and apple cider vinegar to make the vegan buttermilk. Set aside we will use it later in the batter. 

    Make the Batter 

    In a large bowl whisk aquafaba until foamy. Add all wet ingredients mashed banana, pumpkin puree, Oil, vegan buttermilk and mix well to combine. Whisk sugar into the batter until dissolved.  

    Once done, add dry ingredients to the mixture. All-purpose flour, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt.  

    Mix well with a silicon spatula. Gently fold the dry ingredients just enough to combine everything. Do not over mix the mixture some lumps are normal. Just make sure there are no dry flour pockets in the mixture. 

    how to make the batter for bread

    Bake

    Fill the bread tin with the mixture and slightly tap the tin to remove air bubbles from the mixture. Bake at 350ºF for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs.

    Storage 

    Store the bread at room temperature in an air-tight container and line it with a paper towel so it will absorb the extra moisture. It will stay fresh for up to 2 days at room temperature and 4 to 7 days in the fridge.  

    You can also freeze the vegan pumpkin banana bread for up to three months in an airtight container or zip lock bag. Make sure to slice the bread before freezing to get small potions whenever you need them.
