Banana Pumpkin Bread created by Laura S.

I wish I could claim this wonderful recipe, but it comes from The Duck Smith House Bed & Breakfast. It is a perfect fall recipe and makes a great gift anytime. I sometimes use more banana or pumpkin than the recipe calls for to make it more flavorful.

These did not turn out great for me. It only made enough for 2 standard pans. They were rather dense and not very flavorful. I'd recommend increasing the spices and possibly sugar depending on the sweetness of your bananas. Baking powder, like someone else mentioned, is probably necessary to improve the density.

Awesome!!! I did use applesauce instead of oil. My husband is raving about it as I am typing. Will make this again, might try a pinch of nutmeg next time.

Delish, delish! Made mini muffins, baked 12 minutes. I used 2 cups whole wheat flour too. A new staple for my family.
