A wonderful fruit bread made from the largest edible fruit native to America. Ripe in the fall, this tropical fruit grows right here in the USA. Pawpaw can be used in many recipes calling for bananas.

Ingredients

  • 1 serving cooking spray

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ⅓ cup butter, softened

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 ½ cups pawpaw pulp

  • ⅓ cup tepid water

  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the bottom of an 8-inch pan with cooking spray.

  2. Combine sugar and butter in a bowl; beat together until smooth. Beat in eggs. Add pawpaw pulp and water; beat until combined, about 30 seconds. Stir in flour, walnuts, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Allow to cool before slicing, about 30 minutes.

Recipe Tip

If you use a 9-inch loaf pan, bake for 55 to 60 minutes.
