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.

Pumpkin Banana Marble Loaf (makes 2 loaves)
Recipe adapted from indecision

Ingredients:

  • one batch, one bowl banana bread
  • one batch, one bowl pumpkin bread

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.
  2. Divide banana bread batter between both bread pans. Then divide pumpkin bread batter between both bread pans. Swirl carefully with a bread knife. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
  3. Transfer loaves to a wire rack and cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
