As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, there’s nothing quite like the cozy aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through your kitchen. Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines two fall favorites: pumpkin and banana. With the addition of Greek yogurt, this pumpkin banana bread is not only delicious but also so moist and soft! It truly gives you the best of both worlds and is perfect for breakfast a snack, or even dessert!
By using Greek yogurt, you’re adding creaminess and tanginess while keeping the bread lower in fat and higher in protein. It’s a win-win for your taste buds and your health! This recipe is incredibly adaptable. Feel free to add in your favorite nuts, chocolate chips, or even a swirl of nut butter for extra flavor.
