From Feed the Soul Blog:
This comforting spiced pumpkin banana bread is the perfect seasonal treat to use up those bananas that you’ve allowed to get juuuuuust a little bit (OK, maybe a lotta bit) past their prime.
My easy pumpkin banana bread recipe is fluffy but super moist since we’re using mashed pumpkin and bananas. The warmth of caramel-y brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and ginger feels like a warm hug in cooler seasons. The ginger is optional, but I think it’s totally worth the trip to the spice aisle.

You can use butter in place of vegetable oil if you really want, but I’ve made it both ways and personally prefer the loaf with oil. And eggs? We don’t need ‘em! Bananas work triple-time to add flavor, emulsify (hold the ingredients together) and add a little bit of sweetness.
Want to mix it up?
I love the crunch of a walnut in a baked good. And there is nothing like a warm piece of pumpkin banana bread speckled with melty chocolate chips. You can even get away with skimping on the sugar if you add chocolate chips, since they bring a little extra sweetness.
This batter makes great pumpkin banana muffins, too.
