Ingredients

• 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
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 stick butter, softened
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
• 2 eggs eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup mashed ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped toasted pecans
• 1 cup vanilla-coconut granola
• 0.75 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped toasted pecans

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it or using paper liners for easy removal.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined. Set the mixture aside.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer on low speed until just moistened. Gradually beat in yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract on medium speed. Incorporate the pumpkin purée and mashed bananas. Gently fold in ½ cup of chocolate chips and ½ cup of pecans. Stir the flour mixture into the batter until just combined. Set aside briefly.
4. In a small bowl, combine granola, ¾ cup of chocolate chips, and ½ cup of pecans for the topping.
5. Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full. Sprinkle the granola topping generously over the muffins.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.
