Prep a 12-count muffin tin by either spraying it with cooking spray or using muffin liners. In a medium bowl whisk the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice together. Set aside. (1½ c oat flour, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, 1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice) • In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, avocado oil, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk it together until it’s well combined, about 1 minute (2 eggs, ¼ cup avo oil, ½ c coconut sugar, 1 tsp vanilla) • Mash the bananas until they are almost liquid. Whisk the mashed banana and pumpkin puree into the egg mixture. (1 c pumpkin puree, 1 c mashed banana) • Mix the dry ingredients in with the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. I do this part gently with a spatula. • Gently fold in the chocolate chips if using (½ cup chocolate chips). Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each ¾ of the way full. Opt: add a little extra coconut sugar on the tops of the muffins. • Bake 25-28 min. The pumpkin muffins are done when an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool 10-15 min before enjoying! Dietitian tip 👉🏼 You don’t need a lot of added sugar for these muffins because the bananas add natural sweetness! We use coconut sugar bc while it’s similar in flavor to brown sugar, it provides nutrients like potassium and B vitamins.
