Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas and mix in pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula; avoid overmixing. Add any optional nuts or chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55–65 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cooling in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
