1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup oat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup pumpkin puree
3/4 cup mashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
1 cup vanilla-coconut granola

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
2 Whisk all-purpose flour, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves together in a bowl. Set aside.
3 Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a separate bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened; beat in yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract on medium speed. Beat in pumpkin purée and mashed bananas: fold in ½ cup chocolate chips and ½ cup pecans. Stir flour mixture into batter. Set aside.
4 Combine granola, ¾ cup chocolate chips, and ½ cup pecans in a bowl.
5 Divide batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each ⅔ full; sprinkle with granola topping.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
