Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-hole muffins tray with a paper liner. Slightly oil the paper with cooking spray to prevent the muffins from sticking to the paper. Set aside.
Peel the bananas, mash with a fork or potato mashed, and measure the amount called by the recipe.
In a large mixing bowl, stir the mashed banana, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, oil, and sugar. Stir well to combine evenly.
In another bowl, whisk flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin spices, and cinnamon.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined - don't over mix, or the muffins could come out gummy.
Transfer the batter evenly into the 12 muffin cases and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25-35 minutes on the center rack of your oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean

Cool on a wire rack, then store in an airtight box for up to 4 days in the fridge, or freeze for later and thaw at room temperature.

Oven Mode: I use the fan-forced (convection) mode. If you have to use conventional mode, I recommend increasing the temperature by 25°F (15°C). The baking time should be the same, but it might take a few more minutes.
