Equipment

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Combine the mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, eggs, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil or butter, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
3. Whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
6. If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with pumpkin seeds, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
7. Bake in the oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes clean.
8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also store them in a freezer bag for up to three months.  I would avoid storing these muffins in the fridge because they can dry out.
