Healthy Pumpkin Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup mashed banana (about 3 medium bananas)
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup coconut oil (melted)
• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup organic sucanat or coconut sugar
• 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 cup ground flaxseed meal
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

1. 1

   Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease your muffin tins and set aside.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mash your bananas using a potato masher or a fork. You want it to be creamy, but a few lumps is okay. Measure so ensure you have 1 1/4 cups and set aside.

3. 3

   In a medium bowl, lightly whisk your egg. Add banana, coconut oil, pumpkin, and maple syrup and stir until everything is combined. Set aside.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together all of your dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredient to the dry ingredients and stir until there are no dry spots.

5. 5

   Fill your muffin pan and bake for 25-27 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
