Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 9-inch loaf pans.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and allspice until combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat pumpkin, bananas, yogurt, oil, eggs, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the flour mixture, half at a time, and beat on medium until combined. Fold in walnuts.
Divide batter between the 2 prepared loaf pans. Bake for about 55 minutes, until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let pumpkin banana bread loaves cool for 15 minutes in the pan on a rack or trivet, then remove from the pans and let cool completely to room temperature before slicing to serve.
Optional Glaze:
Whisk 2 to 3 Tablespoons of heavy cream or milk into 1 cup powdered sugar to a drizzling consistency. Spoon into a zip-top bag, squeeze out the air, and seal. Snip off one small corner of the bag and use as a pastry bag to drizzle the cooled pumpkin banana bread with the glaze.
