PUMPKIN SPICE BANANA MUFFINS

PUMPKIN SPICE aka what your banana muffins have been waiting for

I’ve been on a banana muffin kick lately—check out my extra moist Banana Almond Butter Muffins AND my Banana Blueberry Muffins MADE WITHOUT PROCESSED SUGAR FOR BABIES . Today I made two different kinds. To be fair, future readers, I am making these during the Covid19 quarantine and want to make sure I both have yummy grab-able snacks on hand for my family but also want to use my fresh produce in a way that extends their life in my house—meaning instead of each of us downing a banana in a minute, these muffins will last all week (I even froze a third of them so they would keep a little longer). We’ve been LOVING THESE!

Present readers, stay safe out there AND EAT YUMILY!

PRO-TIP.

I had some ripe bananas that weren’t as ripe as I wanted them so I preheated my oven to 250º, cut off their stems, put them in their peels on a baking sheet, and baked them for 20 minutes. They came out blackened AND PERFECTLY SWEET!

TO MAKE YOUR BANANA MUFFINS

1. Preheat your oven to 350°.
2. In your stand mixer, cream together your butter and sugar—about 2 minutes.
3. Add your banana chunks, 3 tbsp of almond butter, eggs, and vanilla.
4. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
5. Grease your muffin baking sheet with your butter spray.
6. Use your spoon to scoop your batter into your muffin cups—about 3/4 of the way up.
7. Sprinkle a touch of cinnamon onto each muffin.

9. Eat at least one while it’s hot—so good!
