Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Banana Muffins

Listen, I’m not the pumpkin-spice everything kind of gal, but I do love me some chocolate chip pumpkin banana muffins. These are moist, easy to make and jam-packed with flavor. They are the perfect treat to help you experience all the Fall feels.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup coconut oil
• 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
• 2 eggs
• 2 ripe bananas
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 3/4 cups of flour (all purpose or white)
• 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (optional)
• brown sugar (optional)

Directions:

1. Mash rip bananas in a large bowl
2. Mix all wet ingredients in with the bananas (includes coconut oil, maple syrup or honey, eggs, pumpkin, milk and vanilla extract)
3. Add in the pumpkin puree, baking soda and salt and stir until all ingredients are well mixed
4. Mix in flour, but don’t over-mix
5. Mix in the chocolate hips
6. Pour into well-sprayed muffins cups (I prefer the silicone cups, but used the liners)
7. Top muffins with a light coating of brown sugar
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-23 minutes (stick a toothpick into them and if it comes out clean, they’re ready!)
9. Let cool for 10 minutes and enjoy!
