Pumpkin Banana Spelt Bread image

The inspiration for this recipe came from a blog called The Southern Lady Cooks. I love banana bread, but banana and pumpkin bread is out of this world delicious. I love spelt flour and use it sometimes in place of regular all-purpose flour. I place the loaves into a cold oven and find that the bread turns out more moist this way and doesn't have such a large crack down the middle.
