The best use for very ripe bananas!
3-4 very ripe bananas
1 cup cooked pumpkin
3 medium eggs
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup oil
5 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional: 1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts or chopped pecans
Puree bananas and mix well with pumpkin, eggs, sugar and vanilla. Add oil. Add remaining dry ingredients, mixing until evenly blended. Grease 5 small, or three standard size loaf pans and fill 1/2 full with mix. Bake at 350; small loaf pans should be spaced out on the rack so they do not touch. I usually cook three, then two. A batch takes 35-45 minutes. Standard loaf pans will require 50-60 minutes to cook. Be sure to check doneness by inserting a knife or cooking straw in the loaf center and assuring that it comes out clean. Cool loaves on a wire rack. Bread keeps beautifully in the freezer for long periods if double bagged in a zip lock bag with the air squeezed out. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for serving the next day sliced and warmed in the microwave, or toasted with a dab of butter of cream cheese.
