Pumpkin and Banana Marble Loaf // take a megabite

I mean, I like banana bread, and I like pumpkin bread… Why not make bananunkin bread or pumkana bread? Yeah… these are the thoughts I think on the regular.

I took this out of the oven. I let it cool for barely 5 minutes before I sliced it ever so carefully and ate two warm, butter slathered slices in a row. I could’ve eaten more, but I mean, I’ve got to keep it under control. But you better believe that it was not easy.

So I hope you swirl fall into all of your favorite muffin-y quick breads. I hope you try to decipher the odd shapes as if they were clouds or beer foam. I hope your swirling skills end up with a heart in a slice. I just really hope it!

The moral of the story is this: mo bread, mo breakfast. I sliced up one whole loaf for breakfast-ing and sharing. The other loaf is yet to be determined… I might just eat it in four giant slices. Don’t judge me.

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray 2 large bread pans with cooking spray. Line the bottom with a rectangle of parchment paper overlapping the two long sides of the pan so you can lift the bread out eventually.
