Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2 medium Ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, mashed bananas, and pumpkin puree. Mix until smooth.
Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Mix until well incorporated.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense loaf.
If desired, gently fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
