Pumpkin-Banana Bread

Last week, I had some over-ripe bananas. I decided I could either make plain old banana bread, or come up with something new. I decided to try something new and I now have a new favorite form of banana bread.
Ingredients:

• 3 ripe bananas
• 1 1/2 C pureed pumpkin
• 1 C softened butter
• 2 ½ C sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 t vanilla
• 3 1/2 C flour
• 2 t baking soda
• 1 t salt
• 1 t cinnamon
• ¼ t cloves

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mash bananas and combine with pumpkin. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
• Mix in eggs, beating one at a time.
• Add vanilla.
• Add pumpkin-banana mixture.
• In a medium bowl, stir together flour, soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves with a whisk.
• Add to wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
• Divide batter evenly into 2 9×5” greased loaf pans.
• Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
• Let bread cool in pans before removing.

This bread tastes great on its own, or topped with cream cheese or Nutella.
