Ingredients

  • 1 2-layer-size package yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 cup mashed banana

Bake at 375 degrees F for 50 minutes for 9-inch loaf or 30 minutes for 5-inch loaf or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (cover with foil the last 10 minutes if loaves get too brown).
