Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin puree?

  • Yes. You can use homemade pumpkin puree, but make sure it has a similar thick consistency to canned pumpkin puree so you don't add too much moisture to the bread.

Can I leave out the walnuts?

  • Absolutely. The walnuts are optional, so you can leave them out without making any other changes to the recipe.

Can I add chocolate chips?

  • Yes. Chocolate chips are a delicious addition to pumpkin banana bread. You can use semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate chips.

How should I store pumpkin banana bread?

  • Once completely cooled, store the bread in an airtight container or tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep it in the refrigerator.

Can I freeze pumpkin banana bread?

  • Yes. Wrap the whole cooled loaf or individual slices tightly before placing them in a freezer-safe container or bag. Individual slices are especially convenient for thawing as needed.

Can I use pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree?

  • No. Pumpkin pie filling contains added sugar and spices that can throw off the flavor and sweetness of the recipe. Use 100% pure pumpkin puree.
