  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a standard 12-count muffin pan with cupcake papers then set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and spices.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, both sugars, pumpkin, bananas, oil and vanilla.
  4. Add dry ingredient to wet ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until just barely combined. Avoid overmixing or muffins will be dry.
  5. Distribute batter evenly among 12 muffin liners.

  8. Cool muffins in pan for for 5 minutes then remove and place on a wire rack to cool to completely.
  9. Muffins will keep in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or in the refrigerator up to a week.
