Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas and stir in the pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, sugars, and vanilla until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
