Double Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins
Double Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins combine rolled oat flour, cocoa powder, and pumpkin puree to create moist muffins with rich chocolate flavor. Pumpkin pie spice adds warmth, and chocolate chips folded throughout provide pockets of melted chocolate. The muffins are baked until set with a tender crumb and can be topped with extra chocolate chips for added texture.

Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt sea salt
- 2 large egg
- 1 ⅓ cups pumpkin puree
- ½ cup avocado oil
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract optional, pure
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin pan with muffin papers.
- Transfer the oats to a high-powered blender and blend for 30 seconds or until a flour forms. Add the cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and sea salt to the blender and blend for a few more seconds to combine all of the dry ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, pumpkin puree, avocado oil, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
- Pour the dry mixture into the large bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the muffin batter to the muffin tin, filling the muffin cups ¾ of the way up. If you’d like, sprinkle the top of each muffin with extra chocolate chips.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are cooked through. To check for doneness, insert a digital thermometer into the center of one of the muffins. The ideal final internal temperature for muffins is between 190 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool completely before peeling off the muffin liners to enjoy. I like to heat muffins up in a microwave with some butter, almond butter, or peanut butter for the best way to start the day!
