Pumpkin Banana Bread With Cinnamon Streusel

"This pumpkin banana bread gets its moisture from both canned pumpkin and mashed ripe bananas working together in one loaf, topped with a cinnamon streusel and chopped pecans that bakes into a crunchy crust. Pumpkin keeps the flavor mild while banana adds natural sweetness, for a loaf that’s richer than either one alone. One batch makes two 9×5 loaves, so there’s one to keep and one to share. Bake time runs 45 to 50 minutes. Pumpkin bread and banana bread each have plenty of fans on their own, and most people never think to put them in the same loaf. Mixing canned pumpkin and mashed ripe bananas into one batter mellows out the pumpkin, so you get a loaf that’s warmer and more balanced than the heavily spiced versions you find at a bakery."
