Pumpkin Banana Bread

Pumpkin Banana Bread blends mashed ripe bananas and smooth pumpkin puree with whole wheat and all-purpose flours, baking soda, spices like cinnamon and pumpkin spice, and a modest amount of white whole wheat flour. Light brown sugar and butter add moisture and sweetness, while pecans add optional crunch. The batter is mixed carefully then baked in a loaf pan until a toothpick comes out clean, yielding a moist, spiced quick bread.
