Ingredients
  

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)

1 ripe banana, mashed

2 large eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease them lightly with cooking spray.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, mashed banana, eggs, vegetable oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended and smooth.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; a few lumps are okay!

          Add Nuts and Chocolate (Optional): If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans, and chocolate chips into the muffin batter.

            Fill Muffin Cups: Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

                Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy these delicious muffins warm or at room temperature, perfect for breakfast or a snack!
