Ingredients
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
2 ripe bananas, mashed
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, mashed bananas, eggs, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
