These Pumpkin Banana Bread Muffins are a perfectly balanced, extra-moist fall muffin that can be enjoyed for breakfast or dessert. If that isn’t enough, the muffins are topped with a sweet, crunchy cinnamon streusel that you will want to eat all on its own!
Preheat your oven to 425F. Prepare a 12 muffin baking sheet. Make streusel by mixing flour, cane sugar, cinnamon, and melted sugar together. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, mix melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, mashed banana, milk, and egg until just combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Portion out the batter in a 12 muffin pan. Top with prepared streusel topping.
Bake for 5 mins at 425F and then lower the temperature to 350F (while keeping the oven closed) and bake for 15-16 more minutes.
Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack and enjoy!
