Moist and easy pumpkin banana muffins, perfect for a cozy fall breakfast or snack. This one-bowl recipe requires no mixer and can be customized with chocolate chips or nuts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 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
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 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, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mash the banana. Stir in the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. If using, fold in the chocolate chips or nuts.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • For longer storage, wrap cooled muffins tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight at room temperature or gently reheat in the microwave.
  • For a healthier option, you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and reduce the sugar slightly.
