These Pumpkin Banana Muffins incorporate pumpkin and pumpkin spice into banana bread. They are moist and SO flavorful. You family will LOVE eating these muffins!

Guys, I am ready for fall weather and fall flavors! It’s been a very hot summer here in Kansas City. I love to grill and eat fresh summer produce, but it’s time for cooler weather and small flavors! Last week, I threw together these Pumpkin Banana Muffins, and they made the house smell SO good. You know when the whole house is cozy and smells like fall? Heaven!

“This is my 2nd time baking these. I made it in a loaf pan the 1st time, these are very moist making it difficult to cut into slices when making in a loaf pan. I ended up purchasing a jumbo muffin pan just to bake these. These are moist and so yummy and very easy to bake!! I highly recommend! 😋”- Shirley on Pinterest 

I love these muffins because they heavily incorporate overripe mashed bananas and pumpkin puree. Anytime you can get some fruit and veggies in your muffin, it’s a big win! These Pumpkin Banana Muffins aren’t overly sweet, but rich in flavor and spice from the pumpkin spice blend. 

My son absolutely likes to help me bake and LOVES to eat homemade muffins and breads, so I always try to have them on hand for a quick breakfast or to put in his lunchbox. Honestly, using a muffin tin is my preference, because they’re easy for his little hands to eat and grab!

WARNING: These is a very moist recipe, so it will not easily convert to a loaf pan. You are probably best to stick to muffins or mini loaves!
