No, this isn’t the bread bowl you eat your broccoli cheddar soup out of (I’m looking at you, fellow Panera Bread lovers).
But it does make for a pretty rockin’ breakfast. Or dessert.
Dinner…maybe?
pumpkin banana bread bowl.
adapted from Elise’s Pumpkin Banana Bread
ingredients:
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/2 banana
- flax “egg” (1/2 teaspoon ground flax + 1 teaspoon water)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make flax “egg,” set aside. In a small bowl, combine flour and baking soda. In another bowl, mix together the pumpkin, banana, maple syrup, canola oil, and flax “egg.” Add wet ingredients to dry and combine well (the batter will be very thick). Transfer to a smallish greased oven-safe bowl. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick (or butter knife, ahem) comes out dry.
You can eat it straight out of the bowl…
…or plop it onto a plate.
Topped with peanut butter, of course.
Clearly this isn’t a “light and fluffy” bread. It’s dense, filling, and all sorts of delicious.

That looks soo good – can you believe I haven’t bought pumpkin in MONTHS?! That needs to change immediately.
I just posted about how I’m on a new breakfast kick. This looks like it would be perfection!!
Before I started reading blogs I would associate pumpkin strictly with halloween/fall now I love how its normal all year round
it’s funny, up until recently I felt like eating pumpkin outside of the fall was “blasphemy,” haha! I’ve gotten over that, clearly
I’m all out of pumpkin! Do they even sell it in the spring time?! Well, because of this little recipe, I’m going to go find out. YUM!
Sounds sooo good! I haven’t had pumpkin in a long time, too long of a time. This is seriously making crave some bad.
That looks insanely good. Hello tomorrow’s breakfast!
That is a rockin’ b-fast! Enjoy your day!
Looks Great!!! do you think you could use a regular egg or egg white?
Mmmm!
Looks ah-maz-ing!
I think a whole egg might be too much, but an egg white might work?! If you try, let me know!!
Mmmm…looks great! I love pumpkin & banana bread…so together…wow!
You always come up with the best single serving recipes! I love pumpkin and banana together.
I’ve never had peanut butter with pumpkin! What kind did you put on top of this?
PB&Co. White Chocolate Wonderful! It doesn’t sound like it would go with pumpkin but it totally did
Mhm, I haven’t had pumpkin in a while! This breakfast/dinner/lunch bowl looks so delicious!
the inside looks so good; the moisture with that texture would be delicious
oh man. i need to find a can of pumpkin again now. how clever to make it in the ramekin! love it.
That looks amazing! I have an opened can of pumpkin that needs to be used up soon too so I’m thinking this will end up being tomorrow’s breakfast.
Gracie, That looks great! YUM pumpkin bread is up there with banana bread. So delicious.
MMM.. This looks SO good. I might make it for dinner tonight
ohhhmy that looks like a wonderfully dense pumpkin fudge brownie. And that peanut butter….now I know what I’m going to be daydreaming about in class…
I think I need to bring the pumpkin can from the back of the cupboard. I keep neglecting them lol
Yum. I love this concept and I WILL be trying it.
I love this. It’s such a perfect looking breakfast when you wake up so hungry you can’t even think about anything else. Thanks for sharing, especially the peanut butter love.
