Ingredients

cooking spray
2 cups white whole wheat flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
3/4 cup mashed ripe banana
1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup candied pecans
1/2 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray, or line with paper liners.
2 Combine flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
3 Combine pumpkin puree, mashed banana, yogurt, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Scoop batter into the prepared muffin cups.
4 Mix pecans, sugar, and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Spoon or sprinkle on top of each muffin.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
