How to make Whole Wheat Pumpkin Banana Bread:

The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.

Cool the pans on wire racks for 20 minutes, and then gently turn out the loaves onto wire racks to cool completely. Then you can slice it up!

The flavors are subtle, and the texture is moist. I wouldn’t say it’s more like banana than pumpkin (or vice versa). But it’s a good flavor nonetheless.

This recipe turns out two loaves. So you can eat one now, and freeze the other to enjoy later. To freeze, just wrap it in plastic wrap and then foil. Drop it into a freezer zip baggie, and freeze for up to three months. Enjoy!
