Ingredients

  • 2 bananas

    very ripe, mashed

  • ¼ cup butter

    melted

  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 and 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425. Line a muffin tin with muffin liners or spray with cooking spray. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In one bowl, mash the bananas. Add the butter, maple syrup, yogurt, milk, egg, pumpkin, and vanilla extract, mix well.

  3. 3

    In another bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, salt, baking powder and baking soda.

  4. 4

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just mixed. DO NOT over mix or your muffins will be tough. A few lumps is fine.

  5. 5

    Divide the batter between the 12 prepared muffin cups.

  6. 6

    Bake muffins at 425 for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees.

  7. 7

    Bake at 350 for another 20-22 more minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Baking them at the higher temperature at first helps them rise and gives a nice rounded top.

About this Recipe

Looking for a wholesome, delicious snack that satisfies everyone from toddlers to adults? These Healthy Pumpkin Banana Muffins are naturally sweetened and packed with warm, inviting pumpkin flavor.

What makes these muffins shine is the clever combination of very ripe mashed bananas and pure maple syrup for natural sweetness, paired with Greek yogurt for moisture and a lighter texture. Using whole wheat flour also adds a subtle nutty depth and makes them a more substantial treat, setting them apart from overly sweet, less nutritious options.

Each bite offers a comforting blend of sweet banana and earthy pumpkin, elevated by classic pumpkin spice and cinnamon. You can expect a moist, tender crumb that's perfectly balanced—not too sweet, but full of flavor. These muffins are a simple joy, making healthy eating delicious and accessible for the whole family, ideal for a quick breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up.

Want to customize? You can easily swap the milk for a non-dairy alternative like almond or oat milk if preferred. Feel free to adjust the amounts of pumpkin spice and cinnamon to your taste for a stronger or milder flavor profile.

These wholesome muffins are ideal for a quick breakfast on the go, a satisfying afternoon snack, or a delightful addition to lunchboxes.
