How to Make Banana Pumpkin Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease five small (8x4 inch) loaf pans or three standard (9x5 inch) loaf pans.
  2. Mash 3 ripe bananas until completely smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  4. Add 1/2 cup vegetable oil to the wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared loaf pans, filling each about halfway.
  8. Bake for 35-45 minutes for small loaves or 50-60 minutes for standard loaves, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For longer storage, double bag the cooled bread in freezer-safe zip-top bags, removing as much air as possible. Enjoy!
