Pumpkin Banana Orange Bread

My Mom makes this awesome dessert at Thanksgiving called Pumpkin Banana Mousse Tart. It combines the wonderful flavors of pumpkin, banana, and orange.
I wanted to capture this unique flavor combination in a food I can eat more frequently. This combination proved to be a delicious and moist breakfast bread. Enjoy!
