Equipment

  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Muffin Pan
  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 Medium mixing bowl
  • 1 Potato masher
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Measuring Cup

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Pumpkin puree
  • 1 Large banana mashed about 1/2 cup
  • 2.5 cups Old fashioned oats 1.5 cups ground + 1 cup whole
  • 3/4 cup Almond milk
  • 1/4 cup Maple syrup
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana using a potato masher. Mash the banana until there are no lumps and it is a smooth consistency. To the mashed banana, add the pumpkin puree and stir to combine throughly.
  • To the pumpkin banana filling, add the remaining of the wet ingredients including the eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Stir until all of the wet ingredients are combined thoroughly.
  • In a blender, add 1.5 cups of old fashioned oats. Blend until the oats are a flour consistency. Transfer the oat flour to a medium bowl. Add the remaining dry ingredients, including the whole oats, baking soda, baking powder and spices.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir throughly to combine.
  • Optional step: Allow the mixture to sit for 20-30 minutes so all the flavors can fully combine.
  • In a muffin tin, add cupcake liners to the muffin cups. Spray the muffin liners with non-stick cooking spray. With a large spoon, scoop the muffin batter into the cups until they are mostly full. Repeat this process until all the cups are filled. This will make approximately 12 muffins.
  • Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes or until the top of the muffins bounce back from touch. You can also insert a toothpick into the center of the muffins and if it comes out clean, then the muffins are done.
  • Remove from the oven set on a wire rack and allow to cool.
