Moist and warmly spiced muffins made with pumpkin puree and ripe banana. This recipe uses a one-bowl method for easy cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium)
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • â…“ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe banana. Stir in the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For dairy-free muffins, use a dairy-free milk alternative (like almond or soy milk) and ensure your chocolate chips are dairy-free.
  • For gluten-free muffins, substitute a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the all-purpose flour.
  • These muffins are great for meal planning and can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • You can also make mini muffins by reducing the baking time to 12-15 minutes.
