Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (240g) Libby’s has the best orange color!
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (60g) or mashed banana
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (60g)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (60g) melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups oat flour (240g)
  • 1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt and baking soda each
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a muffin pan with cooking oil and/or line with liners.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin, applesauce, maple syrup, coconut oil, eggs and vanilla.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
  • Add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips to the wet ingredients. Fold just until the dry ingredients are incorporated and you see no more streaks of flour.
  • Scoop batter into the greased muffin pan. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top if desired (so they’re pretty!)
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Let cool for 10 minutes then enjoy!
