Equipment

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin spice seasoning
3 medium overripe bananas
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg
¼ cup butter melted
½ cup milk
2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line the muffin tin with muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin spice seasoning. In a separate small mixing bowl mash the bananas. Add pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, milk and vanilla extract to the bowl of mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Pour the bowl of wet ingredients into the large mixing bowl of dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fill the muffin cups almost to the top with muffin batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack. Serve warm, with a bit of butter or cream cheese if desired.

Notes

Storing: store pumpkin banana muffins at room temperature in an airtight container for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for about 5 days.

Freezing: use a freezer-safe bag to store muffins for about 6 months in the freezer.

Tip 1: don't overmix the batter. Mixing too much will lead to dense muffins.

Tip 2: use very ripe bananas for the best flavor. The banana peels should be starting to brown and have lots of brown spots.
