Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 2 Ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 0.33 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, egg, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the wet ingredients are fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir just until no streaks of flour remain; do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and/or dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter equally among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
