Simply the most perfect pumpkin banana bread recipe! This gluten free bread is definitely the best pumpkin bread I’ve ever made. Fluffy, moist and topped with crunchy cinnamon walnut streusel. This healthy dessert recipe will quickly become a family favorite!

How to make this gluten free bread

I don’t know about you but I intentionally buy bananas just so I can wait for them to turn brown. I like to buy a handle of bananas, place them on my counter and then forget about them for like a week. In fact, that’s how most produce goes in my house–but that’s another story.

Thank goodness overly ripe bananas are perfect for baking! YAY! So I turned those bananas into this glorious gluten free and dairy free pumpkin banana bread!

So here’s what you need:

• overly ripe banana
• pumpkin puree
• eggs
• coconut oil, melted
• almond milk
• vanilla extract
• brown sugar or coconut sugar or brown sugar erythritol (swerve)
• all purpose gluten free baking flour
• cinnamon
• pumpkin pie spice
• salt
• baking soda
• baking powder

for the streusel

• gluten free baking flour
• brown sugar or coconut sugar
• cinnamon
• chopped walnuts
• dairy free butter

Ready for how simple this recipe is? Okay, first whisk together all the wet ingredients and then stir together the dry ingredients. Finally, add them together and stir until smooth and then let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the streusel–again so easy–stir together flour, sugar, cinnamon and walnuts and then cut in the butter using a fork. Sprinkle the streusel over the bread and bake!
