No-Added-Sugar Banana Pumpkin Muffins

I'm finding that feeding my little guy leaves me with bits and pieces of this and that.  You see, I want him to have lots of variety.  Yet, he eats only tiny bites.  So...leftover this and that in the fridge and freezer!  I don't want to throw it away, so I'm finding things to do with the leftovers.  In this case, I had leftover pumpkin...and happened to have some very ripe bananas.  Hhhhmmm...I wondered if G will like muffins.  He does! 

These are delicious and perfectly nutritious muffins with no added sugar or salt.  I feel great about feeding them to my little guy and my big guy too.  I modified them from here (a very cute blog too!).





Set your oven for 350 degrees.  Then, mix these wet ingredients together in medium bowl.




3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
1/3 cup olive oil
splash of vanilla

Mix these dry ingredients together in a large bowl. 
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
Then, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.  Divide evenly (ish) into 12 muffin tins and bake about 20 minutes or until done.

These are delicious.  Just a tiny bit sweet.  Super nutrient rich!  Perfect for slathering with peanut butter and eating for breakfast or serving warm alongside dinner.  Yum!  Be healthy!
