    slices of gluten free pumpkin banana bread

    this is the best recipe to make during the fall and winter. the pumpkin spice will get you in a cozy mood when paired with a comforting banana bread.

    besides being delicious, the batter comes together easily. the longest wait is letting the batter rest before transferring it to the loaf pan.

    i like to add pumpkin seeds on top for a nice crunch, but you don't have to add them!

    this recipe is gluten free friendly but can also be made using regular all purpose flour. all of these ingredients can be easily found during the fall and winter months.

    • gluten free flour
    • regular buttermilk
    • ripe bananas
    • eggs
    • baking powder

    this pumpkin banana bread is absolutely delicious. pairing pumpkin spice with the perfect banana bread recipe is a slice of heaven.

    the banana bread is moist with the perfect texture in every bite. the buttermilk helps create that moist texture without making the loaf dense. the addition of pumpkin spice elevates the banana bread and makes it perfect to enjoy during the holiday season.

    frequently asked questions

    do i have to use gluten free flour?

    nope! you can use regular all purpose flour at a 1:1 ratio.

    do i have to use buttermilk?

    you could use regular milk if you don't have buttermilk on hand. however, the best result will come from using buttermilk. this creates the perfect texture and moistness all throughout the gluten free pumpkin banana bread.

    how do i get that line in the center of the loaf?

    after you pour the batter into the loaf pan, spread it in an even layer. then take a knife and run it about Β½ inch deep through the middle of the batter. once it bakes, you'll have the perfect middle line/opening that everyone loves!

    how do i know it's done baking?

    the bread is done baking when a toothpick comes out clean without any crumbs. the edges will be lightly browned.

    how should i store leftovers?

    store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or 5 days in the refrigerator.

    HONEY WHIPPED RICOTTA DIP πŸ―πŸ§€ Need an easy HONEY WHIPPED RICOTTA DIP πŸ―πŸ§€
 
Need an easy appetizer this holiday season? 

Make this delicious whipped ricotta dip made with honey and a little bit of black truffle zest πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ³πŸ’‹
 
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups ricotta 
- Β½ tbsp olive oil 
- ΒΌ cup localhivehoney from their Winter Bliss Gift Box
- Β½ tsp black truffle zest

DIRECTIONS
1. In a food processor or large mixing bowl, add your ricotta cheese
2. Add the olive oil, localhivehoney and black truffle zest on top of the ricotta
3. Blend until smooth and creamy
4. Transfer the ricotta into a piping bag and pipe into a serving dish (You can also scoop it with a spoon into a serving dish)
5. Add an extra drizzle of localhivehoney on top (black truffle zest is optional but delicious). However, you can get creative and pair with your favorite flavors.
6. Grab a freshly baked piece of bread, crostini or cracker
7. Dip and enjoy!

Looking for a high quality honey? localhivehoney is my go-to when making day-to-day recipes or even baking. 

Their Winter Bliss gift box is perfect for this time of year to keep for yourself or to gift. I used their Utah blend, which pairs perfectly with the ricotta cheese and truffle zest.
