I like making banana muffins (and banana bread) and pumpkin muffins (and pumpkin bread) so I made a decision to mix the 2 and make Pumpkin Banana Muffins. The mix is ideal, one of the best of each worlds.

The muffins are spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves which improve the autumnal really feel. They’re topped with a turbinado sugar and cinnamon combination that provides them a candy sugary crunch! You’ll be able to stir in chocolate chips if you’d like an additional decadent muffin.

These muffins are standard within the fall however, may be loved year-round for a tasty snack or breakfast. Take pleasure in heat with butter and a cup of espresso or tea!

They freeze nicely too! I like holding a stash in my freezer for simple seize and go breakfasts.
