Ingredients
Scale
1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 bananas)
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
2 large eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup avocado oil (or vegetable oil)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Optional: 1/4 tsp ground cloves or pumpkin pie spice
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Optional: chocolate chips, oats, or streusel topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease.
In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and optional spices.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in optional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips if using.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 20–24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
