Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 180g
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 60g
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree 120g
- 2 ripe medium bananas, mashed 220g
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup honey 160g
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil 48g
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line a muffin pan with a 12 muffin capacity with cupcake liners.
- Add the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a bowl. Whisk to combine.
- In a separate larger bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, mashed bananas, eggs, honey, vanilla, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined. You want to make sure there are no pockets of flour remaining in the batter.
- Divide the batter between the 12 lined muffin cups. You can do this with a large scoop or using a spoon just evenly distibute between the cups. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to help settle the batter, then place the pan in the preheated oven. Bake the muffins for 16-20 minutes or until the tops have risen and a toothpick or tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Bake times will vary oven to oven! My takes 17-18 minutes.
- Make sure to use ripe bananas that are speckled in brown as these will be sweeter and yield a best tasting muffin.
- To prevent your coconut oil from seizing up and solidifying when incorporating it into the wet ingredients, make sure your eggs, pumpkin, and mashed banana are at room temperature.
- Add chocolate chips for added deliciousness.
- Nutritional information is an estimate and will vary with substitutions.
