Pumpkin Banana Bread/Muffins

2-3 ripe bananas
1 - 30 oz. can Pumpkin Pie Mix
4 large eggs

4 cups flour
1.5 cups sugar
1 tsp baking soda

Mix bananas, pumpkin pie mix, and eggs well.
Add flour, sugar, and baking soda slowly to the wet ingredients until all is moistened.

Grease the pan or spray with cooking spray.
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 30 minutes for muffins or 60 minutes for bread.

This recipe also works for just pumpkin bread omitting the bananas.
Or if you want just banana bread eliminate the pumpkin pie mix and either double the bananas or half all the other ingredients.

Combine wet ingredients until smooth
Add to dry ingredients until moistened but slightly lumpy

I typically get 24 muffins but I fill the cups of the pans so that they are almost full.
