1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 large eggs
½ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 loaf pan with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, eggs, both sugars, oil, yogurt, and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flours, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Stir gently to combine.
Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for about 55 minutes.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Whisk together all glaze ingredients and drizzle over the cooled bread.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for best flavor.
Adjust milk or cream in the glaze for desired thickness.
Store leftovers in an airtight container.
