- ½ cup coconut oil melted (or if you prefer, vegetable oil or melted butter for more delicious muffins)
- 2 egg at room temperature, large
- ⅓ cup maple syrup sugar-free preferably, If you prefer, use coconut sugar, honey, or agave for a healthy swap. Or use a mix of 3 tablespoon brown sugar and 3 tablespoon granulated sugar.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if you prefer, you can add or replace it with ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 cups oat flour loosely scooped, not packed. TIP: To make oat flour, blend certified gluten-free old-fashioned oats in a food processor until becoming fine as flour. Measure to render 2 cups of loosely scooped flour!
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon if you prefer
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or use semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips if you prefer. It will depend on how sweet you enjoy your muffins. You can also replace it with chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- For making pumpkin chocolate chip muffins with puffy tops, preheat the oven to 425° F. Alternatively, if you don't care about puffy tops, preheat the oven to 350° F and line a muffin tin with paper muffin liners or spray the tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla until well combined.
- Then, add the dry ingredients (oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice), mixing them together until fully combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the batter into a 12-cup muffin pan and bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 425°F. Then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake them for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. NOTE: If the oven temperature was 350° F since the beginning, bake the muffins for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- If you want, you can have them topped with a drizzle of melted chocolate or a spoonful of Nutella or peanut butter. Enjoy!
