    three pumpkin chocolate chip muffins on with a min pumpkin

    These Healthy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are the absolute best! Packed with all the flavors of Fall and made a couple of healthy swaps for even less guilt.

    It’s pumpkin baking time!! It has got to be my absolute favorite time of year for some reason. I start whipping up my pumpkin granola to have with homemade greek yogurt and these pumpkin waffles for breakfast among many other recipes

    I am in love with these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins!  They are made with no refined sugar and make such a yummy and moist breakfast or snack.

    Adding the chocolate chips only adds less 40 calories, my guess. (1 tablespoon of chocolate chips I used had 80 calories and I used less than ½ tablespoon with my 8 chips per muffin. They can, of course, be left out completely and these muffins are still absolutely delicious.

    I also have started using Oat Flour a little more when I was experimenting with Gluten Free recipes. (I like Bob’s Red Mill brand).

    I double the recipe when I make them. They go quickly or you can freeze them too. 🙂

    Ingredients needed for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins 

    Dry Ingredients

    1 cup of oat flour (or whole wheat flour if you’d like)
    1 tablespoon Cinnamon
    ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
    ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
    ⅛ teaspoon allspice
    ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    ¼ teaspoon baking powder
    ¼ teaspoon salt

    Wet Ingredients

    2 eggs
    ⅓ cup melted coconut oil or butter (you can also substitute unsweetened applesauce for a lower fat option)

    ½ cup honey (raw or local is best) TIP: if you pour the honey into the same measuring cup after the oil, it pours out much easier)
    1 cup pure pumpkin
    8 semi-sweet chocolate chips per muffin (Completely optional but extremely yummy!)

    How to Make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line muffin tin with liners.

    Mix all dry ingredients together is a medium size bowl.

    Mix all wet ingredients together in another medium size bowl.

    Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients careful not to over mix.

    Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into muffin liners so they are all evenly filled.

    If you want to add the little extra yumminess, I add about 8 chocolate chips to each muffin….because I want to make sure I get a chip with each bite! You can gently push the chocolate chips down into the muffin with a toothpick or finger.

    Bake for about 30 – 40 minutes or or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Cool 10-15 minutes.
