Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Ensure bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and moisture. You can also sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a nice crust.
