Equipment
- Digital Food Scale
- Stand Mixer
- 1-pound Loaf Pan
- Parchment Paper Sheets
Ingredients
- 113 grams coconut oil (melted)
- 113 grams dark brown sugar (packed)
- 57 grams cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 113 grams pumpkin purée
- 2 large bananas
- ½ cup coconut milk (or dairy free milk of choice)
- 191 grams all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 1-pound (8 ½ x 4 ½-inch) loaf pan with parchment paper, letting it fold over the sides for easier removal.
- Melt the coconut oil (either using a small pot or in the microwave).
- In a large mixing bowl, mash up the banana with a fork.
- Add the coconut oil, dark brown sugar, cane sugar, and pumpkin to the bowl with the banana.
- Mix on low using a hand mixer until the sugar and coconut oil is combined, you may still see chunks of bananas, that’s okay.
- Add the coconut milk and dry ingredients: flour, pumpkin spice, baking powder, and sea salt.
- Mix together until combined into a smooth batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Using a butter knife, make a slit down the middle (this helps give it that perfect crack when baked!)
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in the baking pan.

Notes
Tips
- Always use a digital food scale for the best results.
- I recommend using an aluminum, stainless steel or ceramic loaf pan for the most even baking. Check out my post Best Nontoxic Loaf Pans for Baking for more info!
- Allow the banana bread to cool completely before removing from the loaf pan to avoid breaking.
- Store in an airtight container so it stays fresh.
- You can freeze the whole loaf easily be allowing to cool, wrap in plastic wrap, then wrap in foil. My grandma used to do this all the time and pull out loaf breads from her freezer, tie a ribbon around them, and bring them as hostess gifts.
- High Altitude – Bake at 350°F for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
