Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line muffin pan with parchment, silicone liners, or coat with avocado oil spray.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine mashed banana, pumpkin puree, butter, yogurt, maple syrup, coconut sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
Add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, & protein if using. Stir together.
Fold in chocolate chips and then divide the batter among the prepared muffin pan cups (almost to the top of the muffin liner- a little more than 3/4 high). Top with a few additional chocolate chips and bake for 20-22 minutes until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Enjoy!!!
