Pumpkin Banana Bread #PumpkinWeek #FantasticalFoodFight

This post is sponsored in conjunction with PumpkinWeek . I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the PumpkinWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

Tender, moist and lightly spiced, this banana pumpkin bread is perfect with coffee in the morning or with a cup of hot cider for an afternoon snack.

Welcome to Day #3 of Pumpkin Week.  Join me as I pit my recipe against those others competing in our Fantastical Food Fight.......

Before we start if you haven't yet entered to win the wonderful gifts being raffled off by our sponsors I invite you to do so.  Just head over to my Welcome Post where I introduce you to our sponsors and have a raffle copter that allows you to enter to win one of three great prize packages.

Today's recipe is showcasing sugar from Dixie Crystals and uses eggs from Eggland's Best,

Dixie Crystals is always a generous sponsor for several of the week long blogging events we enjoy each year.

Many of you know that I raise laying hens.  I currently have seven of them.  One of them is nearly 12 years old.  She doesn't lay anymore and the others are in a dry spell.  I am so happy that when I don't have eggs from my ladies I know that I can still get healthy, premium eggs from the grocers dairy case by looking for the Eggland's Best label.

This Pumpkin Week event is hosted by Terri of Love and Confections and Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures.  They do all the hard work and the rest of us get to have all the fun.  I look forward to this event every year.

I also belong to several groups that get together once a month.  Today I am joining with Sarah of Fantastical Sharing of Recipes for her monthly Fantastical Food Fight.  Each month Sarah provides us with an ingredient or a theme and challenges us to make the best recipe we can.  This month's ingredient was Bananas.

This recipe makes 2 beautiful loaves that means one for sharing and one for you.  Or one for the freezer and one for now.  Or one for breakfast and one for dessert.  Or.....never mind, you get the idea.

This was a perfect recipe for today.  I have made pumpkin bread before and I have made banana bread before but I have never combined the two.  So this bread is like pumpkin and banana had a fantastical food fight and the winner was..............

I'll let you be the judge of that.  Give this bread a try and let me know what you think.

Pumpkin Banana Bread

prep time: 10 minscook time: 1 hourtotal time: 1 hours and 10 mins

Tender, moist and lightly spiced, this banana pumpkin bread is perfect with coffee in the morning or with a cup of hot cider for an afternoon snack.

ingredients:

4 c. flour

4 t. baking powder

3 t. ground cinnamon

2 t. ground ginger

2 t. salt

2 c. pumpkin puree

4  eggs

1 c. sugar

1 c. brown sugar, packed

3 small, very ripe bananas

3/4 c. canola oil

instructions:

Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt and baking soda in a  bowl.

In large bowl of stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the pumpkin, eggs, sugars, bananas and oil until smooth.  Turn the speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture until combined.

Divide the batter between 2 loaf pans that have been treated with baking spray.  Bake in a preheated 350* oven for about an hour, until a skewer inserted removes cleanly.

Let cool in the pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes before removing the loaves from the pan to the rack to finish cooling.
