If you are on a banana muffin kick, you need to try these Healthy Pumpkin Banana Muffins.ย  I usually have a can or two of pumpkin in my pantry year round.ย  Why? Pumpkin is fabulous to bake with!

Are Pumpkin Banana Muffins Healthy?

I started making these pumpkin banana muffins for my toddler last fall, and he absolutely LOVES them.ย  Plus, I love that he is getting a sneaky dose of veggies!ย  Ok, so pumpkin is technically a fruit, but pumpkin is full of nutrients like fiber and vitamins, so I consider it a win!

These Pumpkin Banana Muffins also have whole wheat flour, greek yogurt, and are lightly sweetened with natural maple syrup.ย  I feel good about serving these healthy muffins to my kid!

Can you Freeze Pumpkin Banana Muffins?

Yes, these muffins freeze beautifully!ย  ย Muffins are a great toddler snack because they freeze wonderfully.ย  After you make a batch of muffins, allow them to cool completely.ย  They they can be individually wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in a freezer bag.ย  When my son needs a snack, I just pull one out of the freezer, warm it up in the microwave for 30 seconds and it’s ready.ย  I also like to throw one in the diaper bag when we are on the go, so I have a snack in case he gets hangry.

Prep 10 minutes
Cook 25 minutes
Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients 

  • 2 bananas very ripe, mashed
  • ยผ cup butter melted
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 and 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 425. Line a muffin tin with muffin liners or spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In one bowl, mash the bananas. Add the butter, maple syrup, yogurt, milk, egg, pumpkin, and vanilla extract, mix well.
  • In another bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just mixed. DO NOT over mix or your muffins will be tough. A few lumps is fine.
  • Divide the batter between the 12 prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake muffins at 425 for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees.
  • Bake at 350 for another 20-22 more minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Baking them at the higher temperature at first helps them rise and gives a nice rounded top.
  • Remove from oven and remove from the muffin tin as soon as possible Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or individually wrap and freeze for up to one month.

    I followed the recipe exactly and (even at high elevation) they came out perfectly! No problem with them deflating and the taste and texture were amazing! Iโ€™ll definitely make these again (maybe with some walnuts added)!

    Yummy! Followed your recipe and everything turned out delish! Great rise, texture and flavor. I used silicone cups so not sure what the issue was for some others in the comments? Thank you!!
