Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 325F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt with a wire whisk. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and light brown sugar with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Add egg whites, egg, mashed bananas, pureed pumpkin and vanilla extract. Beat at medium speed until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients and chopped pecans (if using) to the wet ingredients. Blend at low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake on the center rack for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. The bread should be at room temperature before slicing.
