Banana muffins are one of my all-time favorites, whether they’re loaded with blueberries (that would be my Blueberry Banana Muffins) or topped with chewy oats (as in my Healthy Banana Nut Muffins). But when fall rolls around, it’s time to switch up my muffin game with these easy Pumpkin Banana Muffins.

At first, you may wonder whether pumpkin and banana pair well together in a muffin recipe. I get it! The pumpkin has a mild, subtly sweet taste on its own, though—it’s the cozy fall spices and ripe banana that give these muffins their signature flavor. Pumpkin is added to the mix for a moist batter, beautiful orange color, and lots of nutrients, including vitamins A and C.

As with most muffin recipes, you’ll find that this Pumpkin Banana Muffins recipe is a cinch to make, and they’re a hit with kids too. Tuck them into lunchboxes with a smear of sunflower seed butter, or keep them on hand in the freezer for a grab-and-go breakfast on busy school mornings!

Why you’ll love these Pumpkin Spice Banana Muffins

  • Soft texture: The combination of pumpkin and mashed ripe banana gives these muffins an irresistible tender crumb.
  • Cozy fall flavor: This muffin recipe has all the warm flavors of fall thanks to the cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. If you can’t resist pumpkin spice everything when it starts getting chilly outside, you’re going to love these muffins.
  • A round-the-clock muffin: Enjoy a Pumpkin Banana Muffin for breakfast, have one as an afternoon pick-me-up, or warm one up in the microwave for a treat after dinner. Basically, any time is a good time for these muffins!
  • Simple to make: Minimal effort, maximum deliciousness—what more can you ask for? You’ll need just a few minutes to mix together the muffin batter, then 20 minutes of baking time. This is the kind of recipe you can whip up without clearing your schedule for the day.

Ingredients to Make Pumpkin Banana Muffins

Ingredients for recipe: flour, pumpkin, brown sugar, spices, bananas, oil, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and sugar.
  • All-purpose flour: Lightly spoon this into your measuring cups rather than scooping it. If you scoop it, you’ll compact the flour in the cup and end up using more than you actually need.
  • Baking soda: Baking soda gives these Pumpkin Banana Muffins their rise. 
  • Spices and salt: Cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg for a warm fall flavor, and salt to enhance the overall flavor of these muffins.
  • Sugar: You’ll need granulated white sugar and light brown sugar. 
  • Olive oil: You can use another type of oil, like canola or vegetable oil, but I love to bake with olive oil because I always have it on hand.
  • Melted butter: Using a combination of butter and oil in these muffins gives us the benefits of both—namely, richness and a moist crumb.
  • Eggs: Let these come to room temperature. Room temperature eggs hold more air when beaten, which means your muffins will rise a little bit higher!
  • Bananas: Not only do darker bananas add more sweetness, they also have a more distinct banana flavor.
  • Pumpkin puree: I recommend using canned pumpkin puree. Be sure to buy pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix, which is sweetened and spiced.
  • Vanilla extract: Like salt, vanilla enhances the flavor of a recipe. 
  • Make gluten-free Pumpkin Banana Muffins. Substitute a measure-for-measure gluten-free all-purpose flour for the standard all-purpose flour. (I don’t recommend substituting a single gluten-free flour, like almond or coconut, as the entire recipe would have to be reformulated.)
  • Veganize your muffins. Plant-based butter and flax eggs can be used to make these Pumpkin Banana Muffins vegan.
  • Add a topping. A sprinkle of coarse sugar adds a great crunch to the tops of the muffins, or you can scatter a few old-fashioned oats and sugar over the tops before baking.
  • Try some mix-ins. If you’re not opposed to raisins, they make an excellent addition to these muffins; although it’s not a must, I like to soak them in apple cider for a few hours first so they’re infused with fall flavor and extra plump. Chocolate chips or chopped toasted nuts are great too.

How to make Pumpkin Banana Muffins

Once you mash the banana, the hard work is done! Which is another way of saying: this Pumpkin Banana Muffins recipe is easy to make. Here’s what you’ll need to do.

Make batter

  1. Whisk together the dry ingredients in one bowl. In a second bowl, whisk together the sugars, butter, oil, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and all of the ingredients are well-incorporated. [Image 1]
  2. Add the mashed banana, pumpkin, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Whisk to combine. [Image 2]
  3. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. [Image 3]
  4. Use a spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the batter just until combined—you don’t want there to be any streaks or lumps of flour in the batter, but you also want to be careful not to over-mix. [Image 4]

Bake muffins

  1. Divide the finished muffin batter into the greased cavities of a muffin pan. Fill each ¾ of the way full. [Image 1]
  2. Bake the Pumpkin Spice Banana Muffins until they’re lightly browned along the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. [Image 2]

Tips for making the best pumpkin banana muffins

  1. Make sure the muffin tin cavities are well-coated. Because the muffins will rise, you want to ensure that not only the inside of the cups are coated, but also the edges where the tops of the muffins might stick.
  2. Use ripe bananas for the best flavor. They should have a good number of dark speckles—or even be completely brown. As long as the bananas haven’t started to ferment, they can be used in baking.
  3. Mash the bananas on a flat surface. This is one of my favorite tricks for banana recipes. Mashing bananas on a flat surface, like a clean plastic cutting board, is quicker than mashing them in a bowl.
  4. Don’t over-mix the batter. Over-mixing is one of the most common mistakes people make in baking. The more you mix, the more the gluten strands in the flour activate—which means tough muffins without a lot of rise. As soon as you see that there are no more streaks of flour in the batter, stop stirring.
  5. Let the muffins cool completely. The baking process continues even after you remove muffins, cakes, and breads from the oven. This means it’s important to let them fully cool before giving them a try. I promise, the wait will be worth it!

How to store pumpkin banana muffins

Store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. 

How long will pumpkin banana muffins last in the fridge?

Muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container. While refrigerating isn’t ideal, it does extend the storage life of these muffins a few more days without freezing them.

Can i freeze pumpkin Spice banana muffins?

Yes, you can freeze these muffins. Place the cooled muffins in a freezer bag or airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, let them thaw at room temperature or warm them up in the microwave for 15 seconds at a time until they’re heated through.

Frequently asked questions


Can I use homemade pumpkin puree?

I don’t recommend using homemade pumpkin puree; it can be quite inconsistent from one batch to the next, which means it’s unpredictable in baking. If you do want to use it, place it in a colander lined with a cheesecloth and then set the colander in your kitchen sink. Let this sit for 30 minutes so some of the liquid can drain off. This will leave you with a thicker puree similar to the kind that comes in a can.


What can I substitute for pumpkin puree?

Canned butternut squash puree is the best substitute for pumpkin puree if pumpkin puree is sold out near you. In fact, you probably won’t even notice the difference!


Is extra-virgin olive oil safe for baking?

While I can’t speak for all recipes, it’s perfectly fine to use extra-virgin olive oil in these Pumpkin Banana Muffins. They’re baked at 350ºF, which is well below olive oil’s smoke point of 410ºF.


Can I use non-ripe bananas for baking?

It’s best to use ripe bananas, as they’ll add more sweetness and banana flavor to the muffins. Your muffins will be bland if you use unripe bananas.

Between their cozy fall flavor and super moist texture, there’s a whole lot to love about these Pumpkin Banana Muffins. With a few simple ingredients and minutes of effort, you can have a batch ready and waiting for breakfast and beyond!

    These muffins are delicious. I made them vegan by using vegan butter and an egg-replacer powder. I only used 1/2 cup of sugar (coconut sugar) in total and they’re still very sweet, so I wouldn’t recommend using a full cup of sugar. Next time I make them I’m going to omit the sugar entirely and see how they turn out, because it would be great to be able to put these on snack rotation for my toddler. I baked mine for 25 minutes total. Thanks for the recipe!

    1. Yumna says:

      Sounds great! Thanks for letting me know about these swaps!

  2. Nicole Moses says:

    Perfectly moist and delicious. I keep them in the freezer so I always have them on hand for my toddler….she loves them!!!

    1. Yumna says:

      Yay! Such a smart idea to keep them in the freezer!

      1. Nicole moses says:

        Yes!!! I also forgot to mention, they come out excellent as mini muffins💕💕

  3. TaRessa says:

    Tried the recipe and it was delicious! I slightly reduced the sugar to approx 3/4 cups. Looking forward to making this is a loaf. Any suggestions?

    1. Yumna says:

      Glad you enjoyed it! I haven’t made it as a loaf but I would say a good starting point for baking time would be 50 minutes at 350˚F.

  4. Susan says:

    Can I use one banana?

    1. Yumna says:

      Two will give you the best texture and flavor.

  5. Alex says:

    I’ve made these three times and they are perfect every time! I sub the same amount of 1:1 gluten-free flour and Miyoko’s dairy-free butter for each ingredient in the recipe. These muffins are better than most coffee shop pastries I’ve had. Honestly, can’t get enough!

    1. Yumna says:

      So glad you enjoy them, thanks for you feedback on allergy friendly options here!

  6. Jen says:

    Very good! Moist, just the right amount of sugar. Will make again

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Thank you so much, Jen!

  7. Lauren says:

    Love the recipes, but the ads and pop-ups are a bit much 😕

    1. Yumna says:

      Thanks! There are definitely ads on my website, which is how I make income as a content creator providing free recipes, but I’ve found that my setup is actually way less than most free websites. Can you send me a screenshot of what you’re seeing that is preventing you from accessing the recipe card? I’d love to see what you’re talking about so I can make any adjustments needed. Thank you!

  8. Cristina says:

    FANTASTIC recipe… except, it calls for one cup of the mixture of sugars, which I thought was crazy seeing as you were mashing two ripe bananas in. I did one quarter cup of each instead, equaling half a cup of sugars, and I still think it’s sweet. My bananas weren’t overly ripened either. For people who like sweet, I think this (1/4 cup each with well ripened bananas) is the perfect amount but next time I would do an 8th cup of white sugar and an 8th cup of brown sugar. Hopefully, it would still come out good because the flavor is delicious and it is so incredibly moist. Oh, and I also omitted the nutmeg, because I never liked nutmeg, so I added a tiny bit more cinnamon.

    1. Yumna says:

      Glad you found a sweetness level you enjoyed!

    2. Christine says:

      Flavor is outstanding but I agree on sweetness. I wish I had seen your suggestions first. I made it as is and while I enjoy the flavor, my tongue can’t handle this much sweetness so I will bring them to a family party today and give the rest away and try it again with less sugar

      1. Yumna says:

        Sorry these didn’t come out to your liking. The sugar content also contributes to the texture of the muffins, but I totally understand everyone has different palates!

  9. Kate says:

    I made these using Butternut Squash instead of pumpkin and they were delish! Thanks for this recipe.

    1. Yumna says:

      Wow, sounds great! Thanks for letting me know!

  10. Zahra says:

    Hi there youmna, can we turn these muffins into a loaf cake ?

  11. Khadeeja says:

    I made these yesterday and they were delicious! I didn’t have any ginger or vanilla so I just skipped those. And I only used half the amount of sugars required and they were still sweet enough for me. Will definitely make these again in the future! I wish the recipe was in metric though- I prefer using a scale rather than measuring cups.

    1. Yumna says:

      So glad to hear you enjoyed them.

  12. Marina says:

    Made these using double zero flour and they are absolutely delicious!!! I added dark chocolate chips to some of them and that took them to the next level. This recipe is a keeper. Will definitely make them again!

    1. Yumna says:

      Yum, love the idea of adding dark chocolate chips!

  13. Anum says:

    I tried these muffins. My kids loved it so much ❤️ Thankyou for sharing amazing recipes

  14. Kristina says:

    I’m loving these! And the nuts are a must… all banana bread like things must have nuts!

  15. Kristina says:

    Love these! Even my picky 11 month old loved it!

  16. KarenC says:

    It was really good and in spite of the fact that I put all the dry ingredients together before mixing the butter, olive oil and pumpkin, it didn’t matter, thank goodness.
    They’re very chewy and the walnuts give them a good crunch.
    Are these muffins supposed to be dense? Mine turned out “heavy”.

  17. Melissa says:

    Absolutely delicious and easy and healthy . Great with drizzled Carmel and vanilla nice cream too.

    1. Yumna says:

      Yum, love that idea for dessert!

    These are the BEST muffins! I have made the three times this month and they just disappear!! And there are only two of us!! I added raisins and pecans to the last batch – that was good too!! Thank you for this recipe! Glad I found your website and am loving your recipes. Sorry – no photo. They just don’t last long enough!!

    Thoroughly enjoyed by my family and I.

      Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed these!

  26. Roza Vickers says:

    My family has asked me to make these two times already! So light and fluffy! I’ve doubled the recipe to make more and added chocolate and caramel chips to them. So good!

    1. Yumna says:

      Yum! Love the addition of chocolate and caramel chips!

  27. Z Joosab says:

    1. Yumna says:

      Yay, so glad you loved them! I agree, the ginger adds a really nice warmth!

  29. Dana says:

    I loved this so much since it helped use my over-ripe bananas that no one will eat. Recipe was super easy and they were quickly gobbled up in my house. Truthfully, even a few before they were fully cooled down.

    1. Yumna says:

      Ha! So glad you liked them!

  30. Mariam says:

    I love both pumpkin bread and banana bread so this was the perfect recipe. Came out so good!!

    1. Yumna says:

      Yay! So happy you enjoyed these!

  31. Ellie P says:

    These were such a hit! I’ve made these twice now, and each time I’ve been asked for the recipe to make more! They’re moist, but not doughy at all and such a perfect texture. I added chocolate chips the second time I made these and they were AMAZING! Needless to say I will be making these again, they are the perfect fall treat!

    1. Yumna says:

      Sounds so good with the chocolate chips!

  32. Samantha Chaidez says:

    Delicious muffins! I love anything pumpkin, so I knew I had to make these. My 3 year old daughter also helped me with the process. The only thing I did different was use fresh ginger instead of ground, and my husband ate one of the two bananas I was saving for this recipe, lol, so I used one instead. Overall, they turned out great, and my daughter loved them!

    1. Yumna says:

      Love your little tweaks to the recipe. Sounds so good with the fresh ginger!

  33. Maggie says:

    Delicious! Added raisins and they were perfect!

    1. Yumna says:

      Yum, love that addition! Glad you liked them.

  34. Wendy L. says:

    I made these muffins for my family and they all loved them. I did add chocolate chips to mine, because I love all things chocolate 🙂 – the recipe was easy to follow and would definitely do these again.

    1. Yumna says:

      Yay! So happy to hear you loved these. I think the chocolate chips sounds delicious.

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Wow, so glad you have an awesome helper in the kitchen, it sounds like she did an amazing job. Next time, maybe double up on the cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger to give your son even more pumpkin spice flavor.

    My daughter and i made these this a.m for breakfast. We substituted the sugar for monk fruit and the brown sugar for coconut sugar but these came out so fluffy and you could really taste all the fall flavors like the ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon. Only had to cook for 18 min and they were perfect. Thanks for the yummy recipe once again.

    1. Yumna J. says:

    Delicious and super moist. Would love to add walnuts or raisins next time. A great fall treat.

  62. Autumn says:

    Good recipe. I actually came out with 40 mini muffins. Used clove instead of ginger because I didn’t have any ginger. Cooked the minis for 15-16 min and came out perfect. I cant seem to taste any pumpkin, but they are very moist and quite tasty. Will bookmark this recipe in my laptop.

    1. Yumna J. says:

      So glad you liked it, Autumn!

  64. Briea says:

    As a South FL girl, we don’t get seasons, so I have to live vicariously through my desserts & snacking if I want to get a taste of fall, and these muffins were absolutely perfect! They were just the right amount of sweet and were pretty hearty, so I was able to enjoy one for breakfast and stay full for awhile. Definitely will be a staple for months to come!

    1. Yumna J. says:

      So glad you liked it, Briea!

    So good! 👌🏻

    Made these dairy free by substituting dairy free butter. Also made them as mini muffins so they were an easier size for my toddlers. I put ~2TBSP of batter in each muffin tin and baked @350 for 16mm s. They came out perfectly and the recipe yielded ~36 mini muffins! I will definitely add this into my “old banana” baking recipes!

      I love this! Thank you so much for sharing the measurements and cooking time that is so helpful!

  66. Emma Malooly says:

    This is such a delicious fall recipe! I added dark chocolate chips for some extra sweetness and can’t wait to eat them throughout the week!

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Thank you so much!

  67. Maddy says:

    Saw this in IG!! Added chocolate chips and they were so delicious!!!

    1. Yumna J. says:

      I hope you took a picture of them and tagged me!

      1. Amy says:

        These are delicious! My 8 year old daughter made them with a little help from me! Glad to have another great and easy recipe she can make on her own!
        Only complaint from my son is that he can’t taste the pumpkin. Will definitely use this recipe again!

        1. Yumna J. says:

          So glad everyone liked it! Pumpkin itself is really a mild tasting gourd so if the bananas are super ripe it can overpower.

  68. Kelly says:

    These were delicious! I’m so glad I made a double batch. The combination of banana and pumpkin was so good and it made the house smell perfectly like fall. Definitely going to be a fall staple recipe in our house.

    1. Yumna J. says:

      The smell gets me too!

  69. Lauralee says:

    I doubled the recipe this afternoon because I had lots of bananas and I should have tripled it. The battery is so thick and smells so good with all of the spices, but when I took them out of the oven, ALL of the kiddos cake in the kitchen trying to find the deliciousness! These are moist with just the right amount of every flavor. I don’t usually like pumpkin stuff, but these will be a regular at our house if only to add in some extra nutrients. ♥️ perfect recipe.

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Thank you so much, Lauralee!

  70. NICOLE says:

    Soo yummy!! I added chocolate chips because… why not!?

    1. Yumna J. says:

      LOL I am here for some chocolate chips, yum!

  71. Jennifer Sutphin says:

    I just made 12 muffins & 2 loafs so delicious 😋 I will definitely make them again

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Thank you so much!

  72. Martina Ettore says:

    These were easy to make and so delicious. It was hard to stop eating them! Next time, I would add chocolate chips to them but they are still so good without. The pumpkin flavor is very subtle

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Thank you so much!

  73. Debbie says:

    Just made these today. They are super yummy & moist, and the house smells amazing! I added raisins to half of them and dark chocolate chips to the other half. Topped a few of them with walnuts for the hubby. ☺️

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Thank you so much! Love the idea of adding walnuts, yum!

  74. Kelli Drenth says:

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Thank you so much!

  75. Remmick says:

    This recipe is so moist and it’s perfect for fall! I added chocolate chips to half the batter and it made it even better! The muffins without the chocolate chips are still so yummy! We definitely will be eating them both ways and this will be a staple in our home this fall!!!!!

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Thank you so much!

  76. Colby Ruffner says:

    This is such a perfect recipe for fall! I made this recipe as a loaf instead of muffins and it turned out perfect. It was the perfect texture, so fluffy and delicious. The loaf was gone in a day!

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Love the idea of turning it into a quick bread loaf!
