Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour (good quality, unbleached, unbromated, non GMO)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 1 cup yogurt (if using Greek yogurt, add 2 Tbsp milk or buttermilk)
  • 1 banana medium (peeled - weigh after peeling)
  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp Demerara or Swedish pearl sugar to top (optional - if desired)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda (and optional cinnamon, if using) into a large bowl.
  • Stir in the sugar.
  • In a separate bowl or measuring jug, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and yogurt, until smooth.
  • Combine the pumpkin puree and the mashed banana and mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour the yogurt mixture into the pumpkin and banana mixture.
  • Slowly stir the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients in the large bowl, until just combined. DO NOT OVER STIR as it will make the muffins dense.
  • Fill the muffin cups. Sprinkle with a little raw sugar (Demerara or Swedish pearl) if desired, for a crunchy top.
  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden.
  • Remove them from the oven, and pan, and place on a cooling rack for a few minutes or longer, before serving.

Notes

  • PLEASE use a scale for best results.
  • If you are making larger muffins, bake for another 5 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean, as ovens vary.
  • SERVING TIP: If serving immediately, I like to line a basket with a pretty napkin and put the fresh muffins in it to serve them. This keeps them warm, too.
