Pumpkin banana bread is perfect for fall baking!

This healthy pumpkin banana bread is a fall treat that must be on your baking list. Made with greek yogurt and no oil (thanks to bananas), this pumpkin banana bread not only tastes delicious, but is good for you too.

It’s one of my favorite healthy pumpkin recipes, along with pumpkin energy balls. Pumpkin banana bread is great for a snack, breakfast, or even dessert.

While I love a good classic piece of classic Pumpkin Bread, sometimes you just need something that is a little lighter to satisfy that morning pumpkin sweet tooth!

Banana bread is a favorite in our house, so I decided to make a fall themed version.

How to make Pumpkin Banana Bread without oil

Step 1: Add the wet ingredients to a bowl: greek yogurt, maple syrup, mashed banana, canned pumpkin, eggs, baking soda, salt, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Whisk well to combine.

Step 2: Add the flour and stir until just combined (do not over mix). Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth our the top.

Step 3: Bake the pumpkin banana bread at 350 degrees for 40 – 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Maple syrup, greek yogurt, and canned pumpkin add the moistness to this recipe without the use of butter or oil. You wouldn’t even guess that this was made using healthier swaps.

Can I use a different flour?

Yes! You should easily be able to substitute regular flour or an equal amount of cup for cup gluten free flour.

Can this pumpkin banana bread be made into muffins?

Yes! Just use parchment paper liners, or spray regular ones with cooking spray. Bake for around 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Can I add chocolate chips to this recipe?

That sounds like a delicious addition! Some mini ones sprinkled on top too would be so good.

I like my bread a little sweeter, what do you recommend?

use vanilla greek yogurt: in place of the plain greek yogurt
Add in granulated sweetener: 1/4 cup of coconut sugar, brown sugar, or cane sugar to the batter when mixing the wet ingredients
make a maple pumpkin glaze: for the top of the bread
add in chocolate chips: stir into the batter before baking

This bread lasted exactly two days in our house before it was all gone!

Homemade pumpkin bread makes your house smell amazing!
