Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, eggs, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into 12 equal portions and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer storage.
