  • 0.50 tsp salt
  • 0.50 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin tin with liners.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until evenly combined.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, canola oil, mashed banana, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until blended; avoid over-mixing.
  • Gently fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture.
  • Scoop the batter into the muffin tins and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Serving Suggestions

  • These muffins are delightful on their own, but you can elevate your serving experience with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a warm cup of spiced tea.
  • They also make a fantastic addition to a brunch spread or can be served alongside a fruit platter for a delightful snack.

Storage Tips

  • To store your delicious muffins, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
  • If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Simply wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag.
  • When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or pop one in the microwave for a quick treat.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for better flavor. You may add chocolate chips or dried cranberries for a unique twist. Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
