Banana Pumpkin Bread...



This is a recipe that I found in a Midwest Living magazine... it's amazing. Not too pumpkin... not too banana... :) It's "just right"! Enjoy...

Banana Pumpkin Bread

2 c. Sugar
2/3 c. cooking oil
4 eggs
3 1/3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsps. baking soda
1 1/2 tsps. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
2/3 c. water
1 15 oz. can pumpkin
1/2 c. mashed ripe banana (1 large)
3/4 c. chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350* and grease the bottom and 1/2" up the sides of TWO 9x5x3 loaf pans.
In a large mixing bowl beat sugar and oil with electric mixer on medium speed until combined.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; set aside.
In another large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and ginger.
Alternately add flour mixture and water to the sugar mixture, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined.
Beat in pumpkin and banana. Stir in pecans. Spoon batter into prepared pans.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans. Cool completely on wire racks.
