Pumpkin Banana Snack Cake
It’s pumpkin time! It’s hot as heck, but we are going to ignore that fact today and pretend it’s not real. Instead, it’s cozy fall vibes and I am starting the season off with this super simple Pumpkin Banana Snack Cake!
Why do I call it a “snack cake”? I would liken this cake to more of a banana bread type of “cake”. It’s not super sweet and there is obviously no frosting (although a cinnamon cream cheese frosting would be so dope with this) so it’s the perfect sweet treat when you want just a little something without going completely overboard!
I based this recipe off my Banana Snack Cake and made just a few changes to add in the pumpkin puree. I topped it with some mini chocolate chips at the request of my kiddos. I cut the cake into small squares to stick in their lunches all week long!
Recipe Tips and Suggestions
- The base of this cake is very simple, but can easily be spruced up with chocolate chips (as pictured), chopped pecans or walnuts, dried cranberries, etc.!
- This cake is best enjoyed in about 3-4 days in an airtight container. You can stick it in the fridge to keep a bit longer (it may dry out a tad). It also freezes really well if you want to make extra to pull out all season long!
- The spices in the recipe below are pretty mild in flavor. If you want more cinnamon and spice flavor, you can add more!
Pumpkin Banana Snack Cake - This simple snacking cake is made with pumpkin puree, banana, and warm spices! Perfect to enjoy with tea or coffee or to satisy your sweet tooth! If the middle of the cake needs more time at the 30 minute mark, you can cover the baking dish in foil to prevent the top from browning too much.
