Our Pumpkin Banana Bread is a delightful fusion of two beloved flavors, creating a moist, aromatic, and utterly delicious bread that's perfect for cozy mornings, holiday gatherings, or whenever you want to savor a slice of fall.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set this mixture aside for later.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This step is essential for achieving a moist and tender crumb.
Gradually add the banana and pumpkin mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients, and stir until everything is thoroughly combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
Allow your Pumpkin Banana Bread to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once it's cooled, slice, serve, and savor the flavors of fall.
