Delicious Banana Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Many pumpkin bread recipes use fruit to add a different flavor to the bread. This one incorporates bananas as well as yogurt, giving it a great creamy flavor.

It tastes even better a few days after being made, making it a fantastic gift to coworkers, friends, or family during the holiday season.

You could even bring a loaf or two to share in the office. Just leave it next to the coffee maker and watch it disappear!
