Last year colse to this time, I got a new recipe for Pumpkin Banana Bread once baked and tasted, seeing it a success, it was shared and enjoyed by many of our autumnal visitors. There are several options seen below and the recipes are great, we've tried them All!
I also made several Pumpkin Banana Loaves for Halloween and on Mischief Night when the children came visiting for 'Trick or Treat' instead of the usual candies I give out, the children received slices of Pumpkin Banana Bread which I had wrapped in foil and then located in cake slice boxes (you can get these from Joann's or Michael's).
Banana Cake
I had decorated the cake slice boxes with the Halloween theme; witches, skeletons, spiders which added fun and laughter to the night. Perhaps, I should tell you that we even had some 'double dippers' for a second helping, so be warned! I also attached the recipe to the cake box so that their Moms could identify any known allergies before consumption! Plus, they too could also bake and enjoy as they would have the recipe.
