    ingredients for this recipe.
    • Oat flour: Gluten free all purpose flour can be swapped for oat flour. Alternatively, you can make your own oat flour by grinding up oatmeal. I don't recommend swapping for coconut or almond flour (check out these almond flour banana muffins for an almond flour muffin recipe.)
    • Maple syrup: Other sweetener options could be honey, coconut sugar, cane sugar or monk fruit sweetener for a no sugar option.
    • Greek yogurt: Swap out Greek yogurt for applesauce to make these pumpkin banana muffins vegan and dairy free. You can also use two eggs if desired.
    • Pumpkin: Be sure to select pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.

    How to Bake This Recipe

    This is a step by step walkthrough of how to cook this recipe. Exact cook time and temperatures are available in the recipe card at the bottom.

    steps for making this recipe.
    1. Start by preheating your oven to 425F and mixing together the wet ingredients.
    2. Whisk together dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
    3. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
    4. Line a muffin tin with silicone liners or muffin liners sprayed with coconut oil spray and fill with batter using an ice cream scoop. Bake at 425F for 5 minutes. Lower heat to 350F and bake for 15-20 minutes. Check muffins for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center and when it comes out clean, they are done.

    Expert Tips

    • Mix in mini chocolate chips, dried cranberries, nuts or seeds for a fun twist.
    • Storage: Store leftover pumpkin banana muffins wrapped tightly in plastic or beeswax wrap on the counter for 2-3 days. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
    • Freezer: Wrap cooled muffins in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months.

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I make these pumpkin banana muffins into quick bread or mini loaves?

    Yes, you can make either one. Follow the instructions up until baking. Rather than using muffin liners use a a bread pan sprayed with coconut oil spray or lined with parchment paper. For a full sized loaf bake at 350F for 55-60 minutes. For mini loaves bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes.

      My muffins did not turn out. I used oats instead of oat flour so that was probably the issue. They didn’t rise and weren’t cooked in the time listed.

        subbing out flours definitely can yield non-optimal results. I've found that even when baking with oat flour sometimes they do not rise. Sorry they didn't work out for you!
