This easy quick bread marries the autumn flavor of pumpkin with the tropical flavor of bananas. Use canned pumpkin puree or your own homemade. The walnuts are optional or feel free to substitute your favorite . The glaze is also optional. It is perfectly fine au naturel or dust the top with powdered sugar. I love this bread for breakfast, lightly toasted with lots of butter.

Recipe Variation
To make an optional glaze: Whisk 2 to 3 Tablespoons of heavy cream or milk into 1 cup powdered sugar to a drizzling consistency. Spoon into a zip-top bag, squeeze out the air and seal. Snip off one small corner of the bag and use as a pastry bag to drizzle the cooled pumpkin banana bread with the glaze.
