Ingredients

• 3 medium Ripe bananas
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined and smooth.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and nutty flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve your moist banana pumpkin bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
