Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°.
Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with baking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, pumpkin spice and salt with a wire whisk. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer.
Add egg whites, egg, bananas, pumpkin and vanilla, and beat at medium speed until thick.
Scrape down sides of the bowl.
Add flour mixture and nuts (if using), then blend at low speed until combined. Do not over mix.
Pour batter into loaf pan and bake on the center rack for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the pan cool at least 20 minutes, bread should be room temperature before slicing.
Notes
* 1 tsp of pumpkin spice can be substituted for cloves and nutmeg.
