Healthy Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins
Description
Healthy Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins start with wet ingredients including pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. These provide moisture and natural sweetness as well as pumpkin flavor. The dry ingredients—oat flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt—are whisked separately and then folded into the wet mixture along with mini chocolate chips.
The batter is scooped into a greased muffin tin, with optional extra chocolate chips on top for appearance and texture. Baking at 350°F for 20 to 22 minutes yields muffins with a tender, moist crumb, lightly spiced with warm pumpkin pie flavors complemented by chocolate chip pockets.
These muffins offer a pumpkin-themed treat with a fiber-rich base and natural sweeteners. They are suitable for breakfast or snack times and can be enjoyed fresh or after cooling.
