Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 2 (8x4-inch) loaf pans; set aside.

Combine sugar, margarine and eggs in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until mixture is creamy. Add pumpkin and bananas; continue beating until well mixed. (Mixture will have curdled appearance.) Add all remaining ingredients except nuts; beat at low speed just until moistened. Stir in nuts.

Spread evenly into prepared pans. Bake 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely.



*Substitute 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon each ground nutmeg and ground cloves.
