Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place 6 muffin liners into a muffin tin and spray with oil.
Place the overripe banana in a medium bowl and mash with a fork.
Add pumpkin puree, melted butter, egg, maple syrup (or brown sugar) and vanilla. Stir until combined.
Now add all dry ingredients: flour, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice (if using) baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Mix until all the flour is just incorporated. Don't overmix.
Now stir in chocolate chips.
Divide the batter between the 6 muffin tin liners. They will be pretty full. Decorate the tops with more chocolate chips, if you want.
Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Chopped walnuts or pecans can be added with or instead of chocolate chips.

Pumpkin pie spice is optional but highly recommended!

Make sure to use 100% pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
