Ingredients

Bread

2 bananas ripe
1 c pumpkin puree or pumpkin NOT pumpkin pie filling
2 eggs
1 stick unsalted butter melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
pinch of salt

Cream Cheese Icing

4 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 c milk
3/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a mixing bowl mash banana and pumpkin together. I like to use a fork to do this.
Add the eggs, butter, sugar, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla to the same bowl as the banana and pumpkin and whisk together.
In another bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Then begin to gradually fold the flour into the banana mixture. Stir to incorporate.
Grease a loaf pan using cooking spray or butter.
Bake on the middle rack for 50 minutes at 375. After 50 minutes turn the heat up to 400 on the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes. After 15 minutes check to see if bread is done by sticking a toothpick or knife through the center of the bread. If it comes out pretty clean then it's done, if not put it back in the oven. Cook for an additional 15 minutes and check the middle again.
Place on a cooling rack and let cool.
While the bread is cooling make the icing. In a mixing bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth. Then add in the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Lastly add the vanilla extract and milk until smooth.
Eat and enjoy!
