Notes
- If you want to make regular-sized muffins, this recipe makes 12 (¼ cup) muffins. The bake time is longer than the mini muffins, around 20-22 minutes.
- ¼ cup) muffins. The bake time is longer than the mini muffins, around 20-22 minutes.
- Why use applesauce instead of oil? Applesauce adds moisture and some natural sweetness to these muffins without the extra fat that an oil would add.
- What is pumpkin puree? Is it the same thing as pumpkin pie filling? Pumpkin puree is simply baked pumpkin, blended up and thrown into a can for our use. :) It's similar to pumpkin pie filling, but not the same. Pumpkin pie filling is traditionally already sweetened, as well as seasoned... and since we sweetened and season our muffins in this recipe, we don't need the extra that pumpkin pie filling would add.
- Can I make this dairy free? Absolutely! Check your chocolate chips to ensure they're the dairy free variety because the rest of this recipe is already dairy free!
- How to store: Once they have completely cooled, transfer to an airtight food storage container. Keep at room temperature for 3-4 days.
- How to freeze: If you have extras or make a double batch, freeze them on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. When frozen solid, transfer to a freezer bag. Keep frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to reheat, remove from the freezer and defrost in the microwave until warmed through. You may also toast in a toaster oven.
