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.

    Remove from oven and remove from the muffin tin as soon as possible Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or individually wrap and freeze for up to one month.
