Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted butter, stirring until well combined.

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk until smooth.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
