Sugar, spice, and everything nice! This pumpkin-banana mashup is the perfect fall-inspired quick bread. Loaded with fiber, healthy fats, plant proteins, vitamin A, and potassium, it’s a delicious, nutritious treat. Slice it thick, warm it in the toaster, and slather on some extra almond butter. So good!

Here are the adjustments I made:

  • 1 egg + 1 flax egg (1 Tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 Tbsp warm water)
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour + 1 cup AP flour
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup + 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed (The reduced liquid and added sugar crystals help create a moist, but not overly dense, crumb.)
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • A pinch of all spice

My bread was done ~55 minutes. Start checking for doneness around the 50-minute mark.
