Pumpkin Banana Bread
Here is a recipe that my wife cooked up to take with us to a clam bake. She prepared the gluten free version, it disappeared and there were several requests for the recipe. Give it a try, it is really good!
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. allspice
2 cups sugar
2 cups canned pumpkin
1 cup mashed ripe banana
½ cup raisins
1 ½ cups vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. lemon juice
Directions:
Mix sugar and oil, stir in eggs, banana, pumpkin, lemon juice and vanilla in a bowl then add remaining dry ingredients and mix well. Pour mixture into a foil lined Dutch oven. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. If cooking outdoors using a camp Dutch oven, place 10 lit charcoal briquettes beneath and 15 on top of your Dutch oven. Refresh your coals after 30 minutes. You may need to use more charcoal briquettes on cold or windy days.
Serves 6 to 8
For a Gluten Free version, substitute flour with 3 cups of an all purpose Gluten Free baking flour and 1 ½ tsp. of Xanthan gum (all purpose thickening agent).
