Pumpkin Banana Nut Muffins

This was something I whipped up in yet another of those "I've got bananas that are about to go bad" moment. It's a mix of banana bread and pumpkin bread baked into muffins so my husband can easily take them for breakfast on his way to work. I used applesauce instead of oil and they came out really moist.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups granulated sugar

1 cup bananas, mashed

1 cup pumpkin puree

3 eggs

1 cup applesauce

1/4 cup water

2 1/2 cups flour

3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup walnuts, chopped

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl beat sugar, bananas, pumpkin, eggs, applesauce and water until well combined.

3. In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to batter until just combined - do not overmix. Fold in walnuts. Fill muffin tins 2/3 full with batter and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of muffins comes out clean.
