Ingredients

non-stick cooking spray
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ginger
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed light brown sugar
¼ cup olive oil
4 tablespoons melted butter cooled slightly
2 eggs at room temperature
2 ripe bananas mashed
½ cup canned pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350˚F and spray a 12-count muffin tin with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt together. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine sugar, brown sugar, olive oil, butter and eggs. Whisk for about 2 minutes, or until smooth and well combined. Add banana, pumpkin and vanilla and whisk until combined.
Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold together with a spatula until no streaks of flour remain. Fill each muffin cavity about ¾ full, then bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
