Instructions
Prepare Wet Ingredients
- I lightly beat 2 eggs in a small bowl and soften 8 tbsp butter in the microwave until just soft for this moist autumn loaf.
Add Ingredients to Bread Pan
- I remove the bread pan from the unplugged bread machine, add 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1 cup mashed banana, beaten eggs, softened butter, 2 cups flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup brown sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon, following the machine’s order for this simple recipe.
Start Bread Machine
- I place the pan back, close the lid, plug in the machine, select the ‘Sweet Quick Bread’ or ‘Cake’ setting with a light crust, and start the cycle for this fall spiced bread.
Cool Bread
- I unplug the machine when done, remove the hot pan with oven mitts, and let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes for this cozy bread.
Finish Cooling
- I gently remove the bread, remove the mixing paddle if stuck, and cool on a wire rack for 2 hours before slicing for this Pumpkin Banana Bread.
