02 - In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
03 - In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
04 - Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined to avoid over-mixing.

06 - Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
07 - Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
08 - Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely prior to slicing.
