PUMPKIN BANANA NUT MUFFINS



Pumpkin Banana Nut Muffins image

I started with recipe #24617, and then adapted to what I have/use at home. I consider this more healthy for *my* family, but we're weird with raw milk and cultured butter, no sugar, etc. Also, I needed more oats for both texture and specific nutritional requirements :)

FAT-FREE BANANA-PUMPKIN MUFFINS



Fat-Free Banana-Pumpkin Muffins image

This is a recipe I made up to make muffins that were fat-free, so just a little more wholesome. Basically, it's a mix of pumpkin bread and banana bread, but without butter or oil. This recipe is good for adapting to those that do not care about it being fat-free. Adding mini chocolate chips makes the muffins sweeter, but still not too unhealthy.

  • Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin. Place a pinch of reserved 1/2 teaspoon spice mixture on top of each muffin.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Measure your flour correctly. Too much flour can make your muffins dry and dense. Use a kitchen scale to measure your flour for the most accurate results.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can toughen your muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill your muffin cups evenly. This will help your muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake your muffins at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking muffins is 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Any hotter and they will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. Any cooler and they will take too long to bake and the texture will be dense.
  • Let your muffins cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and texture.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin banana nut muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're packed with nutritious ingredients like whole wheat flour, oats, pumpkin, and bananas. They're also a good source of fiber and protein. Plus, they're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy breakfast or snack, give these muffins a try!
