Ingredients
  

1 cup ripe bananas (about 2 medium, mashed)

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional but recommended)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

    Blend the Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine the mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, honey (or maple syrup), vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well-combined.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well-blended.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the blended wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixtures together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Add Nuts and Chocolate (Optional): If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and dark chocolate chips for an extra touch of flavor and texture.

            Fill Muffin Tins: Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 of the way full.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you added chocolate chips, check for melted chocolate as well.

                Cool Down: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Enjoy: Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to a month. Delicious warm or at room temperature!
