Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.75 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 tsp ground cloves

Wet Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 medium bananas)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves until well combined.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can tent it loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.

Notes

This pumpkin banana bread is even better the next day! Store leftovers tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. It also freezes wonderfully; wrap slices individually and freeze for up to 3 months.
