Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In another bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter, brown sugar, pumpkin, cranberry sauce, egg, and banana until the mixture is nice and smooth. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring just until everything is combined—don’t overmix. Pour the batter into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Bake for about an hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
