Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1 cup Ripe banana, mashed
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Dried cranberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.

Step 4

Add the egg to the wet mixture and mix until incorporated, followed by the mashed banana, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the dried cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Serve as is, or spread with butter or cream cheese for an extra treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
