Pumpkin Banana Bread

Preparation: Take cream cheese out of refrigerator 2 hours prior to making recipe. Set out 4 eggs to warm to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray 2 regular size bread loaf baking pans with vegetable oil spray.

Cream together: 2/3 cup shortening, 2-2/3 cups granulated sugar, one 8 oz package cream cheese (softened at least 2 hours at room temperature)

Add, stirring until smooth: 4 ripe bananas (peeled and smashed with a fork or in your mixer), 2 cups pumpkin (the single pie size), 4 beaten eggs

In a separate bowl stir together and then add gradually to the above mixture: 3- 1/3 cups flour, 1 ½ tsp. salt, 2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp cloves

Blend just until all flour mixture is incorporated.

Pour into greased pans. Bake 350 for approximately 1 hour. Test with a toothpick in center of loaves to see if done. Toothpick should come out clean.
