Lauren’s GF Pumpkin-Banana Bread



I've been wanting to make GF Pumpkin-Banana Bread for awhile, but I didn't have a recipe for it. So, I took a chance and created this recipe. I used my mom's banana bread recipe I loved as a child and turned it into a gluten-free version. Then, I added the pumpkin and spices to turn it into GF Pumpkin-Banana Bread. This was the first time I've created my own recipe and turned a regular recipe into GF. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

·2¼ cup GF all-purpose flour                            ·¼ tsp allspice
·1 tsp xanthan gum                                            ·¼ tsp cloves
·½ cup sugar                                                        ·¼ cup cooking oil with omega-3
·½ cup brown sugar                                           ·⅓ cup skim milk
·1 tsp baking soda                                              ·2 eggs
·1 tsp salt                                                             ·1 tsp vanilla
·1 tsp cinnamon                                                  ·2 bananas, mashed
·¼ tsp nutmeg                                                     ·1 cup pumpkin purée
·¼ tsp ginger                                                        ·¼ cup walnut pieces

Preheat oven to 350˚. Combine all ingredients, except walnut pieces, in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Then, fold in walnut pieces. Pour bread mixture into a greased loaf pan. Bake for 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool slightly then loosen sides of loaf and remove from pan. Cool completely before slicing. Store in the refrigerator.
