1 large very ripe banana (about 1/2 cup, mashed)
2/3 cup canned pumpkin (or pure pumpkin puree - NOT pumpkin pie filling)
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup melted and cooled coconut oil (or other neutral tasting oil like canola or grapeseed oil)
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons plain yogurt, room temperature
1/3 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar), packed
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour (measured properly with the scoop and level method)
½ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (plus more for topping if desired)
1-2 tablespoons chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 415 F.
- Grease a 12 cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash banana using a fork. Whisk in pumpkin, eggs, coconut oil, honey, vanilla, milk and yogurt.
- Add brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract and whisk until combined.
- Slowly add flour and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined (do not overmix - it's okay if you still see a little bit of flour) and gently fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, reserving the rest for topping.
- Scoop batter (I use a cookie scoop) evenly into prepared muffin pan, filling about 3/4 full. Top with extra chocolate chips or pecans if desired.
- Bake at 415 F degrees for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature (leaving the muffins inside oven) to 350 F degrees, and bake for an additional 6-9 minutes (do NOT overbake as muffins will continue to cook after removing from oven) or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove pan from oven and allow the muffins to cool in pan for 10 minutes.
