Pumpkin Banana Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup mashed ripe banana
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil/ butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Pumpkin Spice Streusel

  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the muffin cups with non-stick spray.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice for the streusel. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, pumpkin puree (squeeze the excess moisture out of it) , granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  • Generously sprinkle the streusel topping over each muffin, pressing it down lightly so it sticks to the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
