Cooking Time: 65 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 Ripe bananas, mashed
• 1.33 Cups canned pumpkin puree
• 0.5 Cups honey
• 0.5 Cups white sugar
• 0.33 Cups vegetable oil
• 2 Large eggs
• 2.5 Cups all-purpose flour
• 2 Teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 Teaspoon baking powder
• 1 Teaspoon baking soda
• 1 Teaspoon cinnamon, ground
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 0.75 Cups raisins
• 0.5 Cups walnut pieces, toasted

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, honey, sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth and well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a tender crumb.
5. Fold in the raisins and toasted walnut pieces, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Slice and serve with your choice of spread, such as cream cheese or butter, and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and textures.
