Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup cooking oil of choice I used avocado oil
- ½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice seasoning
- ½ cup granulated white sugar optional – for toppings of muffins
Instructions
-
Pre heat oven to 350°F and line the muffin tin with baking cup liners.
-
In a med/large bowl add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt. Whisk everything so don’t have any clumps.
-
Next add the eggs, brown sugar, vegetable oil, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together, you will have a pancake like batter. Fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
-
Fill the muffin tin liners up about 3/4 of the way. You want your liners to be filled 75% of the way so you have enough space for the muffins to rise which is known as the (muffin top). Sprinkle a little white sugar on top on each muffin.
-
Bake at 350°F for 20-25 mins. Insert a toothpick or the tip of a sharp knife to see if the inside is cooked evenly. If the toothpick or knife comes out clean than your ready to take them out. Now, cool them off and enjoy!
Notes
- I went a little excessive on the toppings of my muffins only because I love a little crunch here and there, so incorporating these walnuts or pecans as a topping or filling makes the world of a difference.
- If you like the smooth route and don’t enjoy much of that crunch from the granulated sugar on top of the muffins, then you can simply sprinkle some white powdered sugar on top of these muffins once they have cooled off.
- You can replace the eggs with 1/4 cup of full fat, non fat, greek yogurt.
- Store in air tight container and will last 5-6 days.
