Preparation

Step 1

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325

Grease 6 mini loaf pans or 2 9x5" loaf pans

In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda and salt. Mix well

In a large bowl beat together until smooth the pumpkin, eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, bananas and vegetable oil

Gradually mix in the flour mixture then stir in the nuts.

Spoon into prepared pans

Bake for 30 minutes then check with a toothpick - if it comes out clean they are done. If you are doing large loaves (which I did not try); check after 50 minutes and still wait until toothpick comes out clean.

Cool on wire rack 10 minutes then remove.

In a small saucepan combine the butter and maple syrup; stir until butter melts then remove from stove; Whisk in the powdered sugar (sifted)

NOTE: The glaze will do 2-3 small loafs. It's best to glaze and eat the same day. Loaves freeze well without the glaze
