Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 bananas)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, and vegetable oil. Mix well until smooth.
- Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana and pumpkin mixture. Stir until fully combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, lightly folding until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a denser bread.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
