Banana Pumpkin Bread
Spring is here! Time to clear out the freezer and ready for the overflow of garden vegetables. Pumpkin puree has just about reached it’s frozen limit. Today I’m using the last of this fall fruit and a few overripe bananas to make this amazing bread. This quick bread has a different texture than most quick breads. Never dry and a bit ‘springy!’ Ha! Kristyn has put together the best ingredients with a little less sugar than most quick breads for this recipe. Check out her cute blog Lil’ Luna. Thank you Kristyn.

Sometimes you just want a fully loaded quick bread. If you love the cake you’re gonna love this! A mere 15 minutes to the oven. Yep, it does take an hour to bake but your kitchen will smell amazing while it bakes. I opt for light olive oil just because of the health benefits. There is reportedly more health benefits to extra virgin. I have used extra virgin without significant taste difference. But if you are baking this for a foodie with a very discriminating palate opt for the light.
The perfect ending to a summer meal! At this time of year you may have an over-load of berries. Yes, this works with just about all berries. The attraction here is not only the deliciousness but the absolute ease of this recipe. Try it today. You and your family will not be disappointed.
Just a great change-up salad! Goes great with jambalaya, gumbo, chili beans, pot roast and all by itself!
Amazingly simple! Deliciously rich! Quick mix with a somewhat lengthy bake. So worth it! For the recipe ingredients I received a little help from Fannie Farmer. Yep, I grew up on canned brown bread … so, no family recipe. Homemade is so much better! Add a medley of seedless raisins or no raisins at all. It’s delicious.
King Arthur Baking Products are high on my list. Nope, this isn’t a paid advertisement! I receive their free catalog routinely, and it’s one catalog I actually look through. Great recipes are included along with product suggestions. Their recipes are not included without their trial run. (Neither are my recipes, BTW.) Yep, you guessed it! This is one of theirs. I had all the ingredients (*well not white whole wheat flour) and we were hungry for muffins now. These didn’t disappoint!
