Pumpkin Banana Bread

There are two common items in my kitchen these days: leftover pumpkin puree, roasted, smashed, you name it and banana bread. I almost always have a loaf of banana bread on the countertop toasted with peanut butter, it makes a standard breakfast around here, and is constantly pulled into service in school lunches and for after-school snacks. The other day I had only 2 ripe bananas to use (generally I use 3 in a loaf) and a container of pumpkin puree in the fridge turns out the two go deliciously together in a quick loaf.

This batter could also be baked as muffins divvy it up among paper-lined muffin cups and bake for 20-25 minutes, until springy to the touch.

If you like, sprinkle the batter with coarse sugar before baking for a crunchy, crackly top.

Pumpkin Banana Bread

2 very ripe bananas
1/2-1 cup pumpkin puree
3/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. canola, olive or flax oil
2 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 cups flour (I usually use half all-purpose, half whole wheat, oat or quinoa flour)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
a handful of chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, raisins, coconut, fresh or frozen blueberries (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350F.

In a large bowl, mash the bananas, pumpkin, sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla with a potato masher dont worry about getting all the lumps out. It will look sort of cottage-cheesy.

Add the flour, baking soda and salt and stir until almost combined; add any additions and stir just until blended. Spread into a buttered 8x4 loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes, until golden and cracked on top and springy to the touch.
