A few more pumpkin recipes
Every fall we make it our goal to make all the pumpkin recipes! Here are a few favorites: These muffins come out beautifully moist from both pumpkin and banana, infused with cozy pumpkin spices. They’re just sweet enough and topped with crunchy sugar. Our family can’t get enough of these—and we promise everyone who tastes them will beg for the recipe!
Very ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the better: very dark brown or black bananas are best. Pumpkin puree: Make sure to use puree, not pumpkin pie filling (which has added sugar and spices). Neutral oil: This recipe uses oil as the fat, like organic grapeseed or vegetable oil. You can also substitute melted butter or even use olive oil. Brown and granulated sugar: This recipe is sweetened using traditional sugar. You can use a solid sweetener substitute, but we recommend not using maple syrup or honey here because it can alter the texture. Eggs: For vegan, you can try substituting a flax egg. Baking soda, salt, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice: These ingredients round out the flavoring in the bread. All purpose flour: If desired, you can substitute in up to ¼ of the all purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
Mix-ins: Add ½ to ¾ cup dark chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or chopped pecans. Pumpkin seed topping: Top each muffin with a sprinkle of pepitas (we like roasted salted best). Streusel topping: Combine ¼ cup rolled oats, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, ¼ cup turbinado sugar and ¼ cup salted butter cut into pieces. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or fork until a crumbly streusel forms. Sprinkle on top before baking. Glaze topping: Make 1 recipe of this Maple Glaze and drizzle it over the muffins with a fork. Or, use the Salted Caramel Glaze from this Brown Butter Banana Bread recipe.
