1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground ginger

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin pan or line it with mini muffin liners.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until evenly mixed.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If using, fold in the chocolate chips or walnuts.

          Fill Muffin Pan: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature as a delightful snack or breakfast option!
