It's alive! The scary amalgamation of pumpkin and banana bread is here to terrorize your taste buds! Also simply known as pumpkin banana bread. This was a first attempt and I learned a lot; this recipe could be greatly improved which I'll note what I think could be changed at the end. Recipe code: Step2: Acquire and spray your 9x5 pan  Step3: Measure out your pumpkin purée, oil, and honey, mix in a large bowl with naked bananas and eggs.    Step4: The secret ingredient is  Step5: In a separate bowl combine your remaining flour, powders, and spices   Step6: Slowly add the flour mixture into your goo bowl while whisking until just mixed. If you're like me and don't have a mixer, borrow a second pair of hands to save on the tedium.  Step7: Pour and smooth the mixture into the bread pan, you can force the borrowed pair of hands to keep working for this step.  Step8: Place into oven for 45min. This was made at altitude so your time and temperature may vary. I had to add an extra 10 minutes. Place a toothpick, skewer, or chopstick into the center of the bread, if it comes out clean then it's done!   Serve optionally with swipe of butter  The loaf came out a little bigger than I'd wanted, just look at this monster.  It came out a lot better than I expected overall, but there are improvements I'd like to add here for people wanting to try it out. 1. Needs a bit less flour unless you want to have a mammoth loaf like mine. 2. I'd opt for a 3rd banana if you really like banana bread, I'd have enjoyed a bit more of that flavor but there's plenty to be found 3. More spices, the pumpkin spice isn't very noticeable, I'd add a bit more pumpkin spice and cinnamon if you enjoy that flavor 4. Some chocolate chunks or something similar like peanut butter chips, etc, would be a great addition to this to add a bit more variety 5. Maybe experiment with red bananas for something a little more unique. I wasn't sure how they'd do so I stuck with yellow for the recipe. I'm sure if someone played around with the ingredient ratios a bit they'd make a really good pumpkin banana bread. Thanks for coming to my bread talk.

I'm sure there's quite a few things you could spread on here that would be pretty great. Butter was just what I had on hand and thought of at the time.

Brutal Garcon posted:Are those really really overripe bananas, or some interestingly colored variety? Those on the counter are red bananas!  They are pretty ripe also, but their peels come red. They're a pretty similar flavor but the texture and flavor are noticeably different from yellow bananas. If you ever try some make sure they're pretty ripe when you get them. Otherwise they are very dry and fibrous. They also ripen very slowly. Grey Cat fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Oct 30, 2023 |

Freezing them is also going to generally make bananas look a lot riper than they looked before.

They've hit peak smoothie levels. The yellow bananas pictured at the start were frozen and yeah they go in black and yellow and come out a nearly homogeneous brown bruise.

Oh wow, if you hadn't explained it, I would not have spotted the difference. Also now I'm thinking of delicious banana bread again, curses! (It's really hard to make banana bread when your banana consumption just scales up to meet your banana supply.)

It's a curse I think we can all live with. The bigger problem is now I've filled 12 freezers full of bananas! At this rate I'll be buried alive.
