Small-Batch Pumpkin Banana Muffins
Description
These Small-Batch Pumpkin Banana Muffins start by combining mashed overripe banana, pumpkin puree, and sugar in a bowl, beaten until smooth. Melted unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract are mixed in, creating a rich batter. Dry ingredients—flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt—are folded in gently to avoid overmixing, preserving a tender crumb.
The batter is divided evenly into a greased or sprayed 6-cup muffin tin, filling cups about three-quarters to completely full. The muffins bake at 350°F for 20 to 23 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, resulting in softly spiced, moist muffins with a balanced sweetness.
Cooling the muffins in the tin briefly before transferring them to a wire rack allows them to set properly. These muffins are suitable for small households or situations where only a few servings are desired.
Ingredients
- 1 banana extra overripe, 1/2 cup mashed
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup sugar
- 6 TBSP unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1 egg large
- ½ tsp vanilla extract pure
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2-1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lightly spray or grease a 6-cup muffin tin
- In a large bowl, add banana, pumpkin, and sugar. Beat together with a hand-mixer until the mixture is smooth.
- Beat in the melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix well.
- Next add flour, baking soda, pumpkin spice seasoning, and salt and mix with a fork until just incorporated. (be careful not to overmix)
- Use a tablespoon to scoop the batter and divide evenly between muffin tins. Filling muffin cups anywhere from 3/4 full to fully filled. Mine are usually the latter.
- Bake for 20-23 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the muffins. Oven temps and times will vary house to house. Mine are usually done at 22-23 min, for example.
- Allow muffins to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to fully cool before diving in face-first! Hooray muffins!
