3 cups whole wheat flours
3 cups white flour
2 T. cinnamon
2 t. baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 3 8x4 loaf pans.

Whisk/mix first five ingredients. Add mashed banana OR pumpkin OR drained/mashed canned sweet potato. Mix dry ingredients together and then add to wet mixture. Divide evenly between three pans.

I hope you're enjoying your menu planning. That bread sure sounds good. (and thanks for sending me the punchline)

I love making those quick breads...they are my son's favorite. I checked out that sausage bean recipe link - that looks so good, and easy. Thanks for the link.
