Ingredients

For the Muffins:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup melted salted butter
2 ripe bananas, mashed
¾ cup pumpkin purée
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Streusel Topping:
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
1 tsp ground cinnamon
4 Tbsp butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a muffin pan with liners.
   
   

2. Make the streusel by mixing flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and mix until crumbly.
   
   

3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
   
   

4. In another bowl, whisk eggs and sugar. Mix in olive oil, melted butter, mashed bananas, pumpkin purée, and vanilla extract.
   
   

5. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed—do not overmix.
   
   

6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Top each with streusel.
   
   

7. Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F, then reduce oven to 350°F and bake for 15–17 more minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
   
   

8. Cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
