    Paleo is a short term for "paleolithic" also called the old stone age of human history by several thousand years ago. The term paleo diet is based on what people ate during that period of time.

    How to make Pumpkin Banana Bread

    1. Preheat the oven to 350F or 177C. Grease the loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or cooking oil. Set Aside. In a bowl, combine pumpkin puree, mashed banana, eggs, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and vanilla. Using a whisk or spatula, mix well until well combined.
    2. In the same bowl, add almond flour, pumpkin pie spice powder, cinnamon powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    3. Mix everything well to create batter consistency but do not over-mix. Then fold in chocolate chips. You can also add nuts or dried fruits such as raisins.
    4. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and bake in the center rack of the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve. Enjoy!

    Baking Tips

    • Use room-temperature eggs.
    • Avoid opening the oven too often because you want the temperature to be consistent. Otherwise, your bread may turn flat or collapse.
    • To check if your bread is done, stick a toothpick into the batter, and if it comes out clean, then it is done.
    • If you are plant-based, you can use chia egg: 1 egg= 1 tablespoon chia seeds+ 3 tablespoon water as an egg substitute.
    • Make your own pumpkin pie spice powder, by mixing cinnamon powder, ginger powder, nutmeg powder,  allspice powder, and cloves powder. You can play with it, I like the cinnamon taste to stand out.
    • Be sure to grease with coconut oil or spray non-stick oil first so the batter will not stick

    Storage and Reheating

    • Storage: Be sure to cool completely. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days on the countertop. You can freeze sliced paleo banana pumpkin bread in a freezer-friendly bag or container for up to 3 months.
    • Reheating: Reheat bread in the microwave for 30 seconds or until thoroughly warm.

    Notes

    Recipe Notes
    • Use room-temperature eggs to avoid clumping your batter.
    • Avoid opening the oven too often because you want the temperature to be consistent. Otherwise, your bread may collapse or turn flat.
    • To check if your bread is done, stick a toothpick into the batter, and if it comes out clean, then it is done.
    • To avoid the batter sticking into the pan, you can use parchment paper on the bottom of the loaf pan or use a silicone pan or greased aluminum or glass pan before pouring the batter.
    • You can store your leftover bread on the countertop for 3-5 days or freezer for up to 3 months. Be sure to slice them individually before freezing. I use a glass container with a lid or aluminum foil for extra fresh bread.
