5 from 2 reviews

These pumpkin banana muffins blend ripe banana and pumpkin puree into a tender, flavor-packed morning treat. With oil replacing butter and brown sugar adding depth, they bake up moist, slightly domed and spiced for fall. Just one bowl, a quick mix, and you’ll have 12 muffins ready to fill your kitchen with cozy vibes.

  • Total Time: 35 Minutes
  • Yield: 12 Muffins 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6oz (3/4 Cup) Mashed Ripe Bananas
  • 4oz (1/2 Cup) Neutral Oil, I prefer Avocado Oil or Vegetable Oil
  • 50 grams (1/4 Cup) Brown Sugar
  • 100 grams (1/2 Cup) Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Large Eggs, at room temp.
  • 8oz (1 Cup) Pumpkin Puree
  • 250 grams (2 Cups) All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 415F/213C and grease a muffin tin or add muffin liners.
  2. In a large bowl mash the banana then add the oil, sugars, vanilla extract, eggs, and pumpkin puree. Mix until fully combined.
  3. Place a sieve over the wet ingredient and sift in the dry ingredients; flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Then use a spatula to gently fold to combine. Do not over mix, overmixing creates a tougher muffin. Let the batter rest for ten minutes.
  4. Fill the muffin liners to the top. Bake for 5 minutes then reduce oven temperature to 350F/180C and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the muffins bounce back when you touch the top or a toothpick inserted comes out with no wet crumbs. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes, best enjoyed the day made but leftovers keep for a few days at room temperature in an airtight container. Freeze for up to three months and then microwave for 30 seconds when you want one!

Notes

  • To freeze the muffins let them cool completely after baking then wrap in plastic wrap, tightly, twice then place them in a freezer safe container or bag. This helps prevent freezer burn. To thaw the muffins place them on the counter at room temperature for a couple of hours.
