Ingredients
  

1 ripe banana

1 cup canned pumpkin puree (ensure it's not pumpkin pie filling)

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups rolled oats (blended into flour)

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oats: If not done previously, place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and blend them until they achieve a fine flour-like consistency. Once ground, set the oat flour aside.

    Blend the Wet Ingredients: In your blender, combine the ripe banana, pumpkin puree, maple syrup or honey, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend these ingredients until they are completely smooth and fully incorporated.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure they are evenly distributed.

        Combine Mixtures: Carefully pour the smooth wet mixture from the blender into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or spoon, gently stir until just combined. It's important not to over-mix the batter; a few lumps are perfectly fine!

          Add Optional Ingredients: If you choose to include them, gently fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips into the batter until just distributed.

            Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it.

              Fill Muffin Cups: Using a scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup in the prepared tin about 3/4 full with the batter, making sure not to overfill.

                Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

                  Cool: After baking, allow the muffins to rest in the muffin pan for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                      - Presentation Tips: For a delightful presentation, arrange the muffins on a decorative platter and dust with a light sprinkle of cinnamon. Consider serving them warm with a dollop of yogurt or honey on the side for added flavor!
