Pumpkin Banana Cinnamon Pecan Muffins

Jump to Recipe

I stand by my theory that muffins are the ultimate for quick weekday breakfasts. Especially when you manage to get a fruit, a veggie and whole wheat into those muffins.

As I prefer my muffins to be, this recipe is simple and straight forward. Also, while I have used half pumpkin and half banana, you could easily only one or the other. You could also switch out walnuts for the pecans.

This recipe makes 12 large muffins or you could make a single loaf of bread with it. Flexibility in baking – it’s what I’m all about. If only everything else in life was so easy to adapt, switch and change.

  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup ripe bananas - approx 2 small bananas I puree mine in the food processor, otherwise mash well
  • 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 stick softened butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 cup pecans I used candied pecans, but you can use regular or substitute walnuts
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat over to 350 Degrees F.
  • Prepare your muffin pan by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
