I stole this recipe from a friend of mine~ Pumpkin Bread with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting~ ah YUM
BUT, I only had 3/4 cup of pumpkin left after I made these last week… Pumpkin Blondies with Cinnamon & White Chocolate Chips. Don’t try these blondies unless you have someone to share with! They are just TOO good! Seriously. Steve & I ate the entire 9×13 pan by ourselves in 3 days. Yeah, I probably shouldn’t admit things like that online!
SO I had to improvise just a bit… and add in some banana!! It was a stunning success
I had to bake it longer than the original recipe called for~ but it was perfect when it came out of the oven at an hour & 15 minutes. Serve with some honey butter for a real treat!
