ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup coconut or brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/4 cups toasted walnuts, chopped
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin lightly to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, olive oil, and coconut sugar. Whisk or use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and ground cinnamon.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay. Fold in 1 cup of chopped walnuts, reserving the rest for topping.
Step 5
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Top each muffin with the remaining chopped walnuts.
Step 6
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 7
Once done, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
These Banana Pumpkin Walnut Muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
