Simple, wholesome ingredients make this pumpkin bread both healthy and delicious.
Ingredients to make pumpkin banana bread
- plain nonfat greek yogurt
- pure maple syrup
- mashed bananas
- canned pumpkin
- eggs
- baking soda
- salt

- pumpkin pie spice
- cinnamon
- whole wheat pastry flour
Maple syrup, greek yogurt, and canned pumpkin add the moistness to this recipe without the use of butter or oil.
I love making desserts like this one as they are healthy enough to eat as a snack or for breakfast!
If you have read my blog before, you know that my son Crosby can be a very picky eater.
He is a little string bean that doesn’t really care to sit still long enough to eat.
I gave Crosby a bite of this bread and he loved it so much he ate more than half of a big piece in one sitting.
I’m calling that a mom win! 🙌🏻
If you’re like me, you’ll love this bread served cold straight from the fridge.If you’re like my husband, you will love it warmed up with butter smeared over the top.
Either way it’s delicious.
Snacks are a weak point for me.
If I don’t have a healthy snack prepped ahead I will usually just grab something packaged.
Recipes like this one (or my pumpkin cream cheese swirl muffins) are perfect as a grab and go snack when I need one.
This bread lasted exactly two days in our house before it was all gone!
I am a self proclaimed bread lover and this one does not disappoint.
There’s just something so satisfying about eating a big slice of bread, am I right?
Homemade bread makes your house smell amazing!
If I haven’t convinced you yet, I will add that this recipe is made in just ONE bowl.
Simple, healthy, and oh so delicious.

this was amazing!

Thanks for the recipe! I am always looking for healthier snacks for the family. My 3 year old just asked for a second one! I subbed honey for the maple syrup and made muffins instead. (20 min was perfect!) I added some cloves and cardamom for fun! Great base muffin — fluffy and moist and lightly sweet.
Joy Shull says
Yum! Muffins sound like a great way to use this recipe!

Just made this, was wonder if you know nutrition facts, calorie count would really help

Hi Deb,
I do not provide nutritional information for my recipes, as it will vary based on the specific brands you buy as well as the substitutions that you make. You can use a calculator like this one: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/calculator if you want the exact calories. Hope that helps!

Can you use regular flour? Or coconut flour? I have both of those, but I don’t have whole wheat pastry flour! 🙂
Joy Shull says
Regular flour should work great!
Kelli says
Can you use regular whole wheat flour.
Joy Shull says
Yes, that should sub just fine!
Christine says
Can you use whole milk plain yogurt?
Joy Shull says
I haven’t tried it but I think it would work!
