- Fluff Maker: Apple cider vinegar, helps activate the baking soda.
- Flavor Enhancer: Vanilla extract for a richer aroma.
- Leavening Agents: Baking powder and baking soda ensure a perfect rise without eggs.
- Warm Spices:
- Cinnamon for a comforting touch.
- Nutmeg and ground ginger, adding layers of flavor.

How To Bake Pumpkin Banana Bread
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to a precise 375°F (190°C). This will ensure an optimal baking environment for your delicious creation.
Blend the Wet Ingredients: In a generously sized mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, smooth pumpkin puree, wholesome maple syrup, and your choice of oat or almond milk. Integrate the melted vegan butter, adding a touch of luxury to the mix. Incorporate the apple cider vinegar for a subtle tang, and introduce the fragrance of vanilla extract. Gently mix until the components meld seamlessly.
Infuse with Spices: With the wet ingredients harmoniously blended, introduce the baking powder and baking soda for impeccable leavening. Sprinkle in the inviting warmth of cinnamon, the subtle allure of nutmeg, and the delicate intrigue of ground ginger. Fold in these aromatic spices with care, embracing the evolving depth of flavors.
Incorporate Flour: Gradually introduce the all-purpose flour to the mixture, employing a gentle folding technique. Your aim is to achieve a balanced batter that defines the essence of your Vegan Pumpkin Banana Bread. Avoid over-mixing, as the goal is a harmonious blend.
Batter to Pan: Pour the artful batter into a 9-inch loaf pan, ensuring an even distribution for consistent baking results.
Baking Brilliance: Slide the loaf pan into the preheated oven and let culinary magic unfold. Allow your creation to bake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes, immersing your kitchen in the aroma of anticipation.
Relish the culinary journey as your Fluffy Vegan Pumpkin Banana Bread takes form, embodying a delightful fusion of flavors and autumnal charm.

Hi, thanks for sharing all of these amazing recipes! Love your posts.
If I don’t have enough vegan ingredients for a second loaf, any suggestions for substitutions? (i.e. Would it be possible to swap dairy butter, whole milk, etc and still use the same measurements?)
Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks!!
