This delicious pumpkin banana muffin recipe is made with whole grains and reduced amounts of sugar to create a delcious, but healthy treat perfect for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up!
Into a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
Peel your overripe bananas and break them into a few pieces. Add them to the bowl of a stand mixer. Turn on your mixer and stir until the bananas are smoothly mashed. Turn off the mixer.
Add the rest of your wet ingredients to the stand mixer bowl, stirring the batter in between each addition. Add the can of pumpkin and sugar and mix. Then add your eggs one at a time, stirring after each addition. Then add water, vanilla, and avocado oil. Stir until smooth.
Gradually add your flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until it's evenly combined. Avoid overmixing.
Line a muffin tin with muffin wrappers. Fill each muffin wrapper about 2/3 full. If using a standard size cookie scoop, use 2 scoops per muffin.
Sprinkle 1 tsp of mini chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
