Banana Pumpkin Muffins

Description

Soft and moist banana pumpkin muffins topped with a sweet icing sugar drizzle.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup oil (neutral tasting: vegetable, canola, corn, sunflower)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 bananas, mashed (very ripe)
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • Icing Sugar Drizzle
  • 1 cup icing/powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 2-4 tbsp milk or heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 12 muffin tray with paper/silicon liners. Be sure to grease the top of the pan either with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. 

  2. 2

    In a medium sized bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger. Whisk dry ingredients to mix thoroughly. Set aside. 

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, add the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs and whisk for about 2-3 minutes until well combined. Add the mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, and vanilla and whisk together until combined. 

  4. 4

    Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and fold together gently until just fully combined (do not overmix). 

    Fill prepared muffin cups with batter almost all of the way up. This recipe makes 12-18 muffins, depending on how big/small you prefer your muffins. 

    Bake in preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let rest for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. 

  5. 5

    While muffins are cooling, make the icing sugar drizzle. Sift icing sugar into a medium sized bowl and whisk in the vanilla extract. Add milk or heavy cream 1 tbsp at a time, continuing to whisk until you've reached a consistency that can be drizzled over muffins. 

    Once muffins are completely cooled, drizzle or spread over the icing sugar glaze.
