Description

Celebrate Fall with this fluffy pumpkin and chocolate chunk muffin recipe. Made with a combination of gluten-free flour, oats, and mashed pumpkin, this recipe offers a healthy, gluten-free take on a classic flavor pairing. 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs (ideally at room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/3 cup instant oats
  • 1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking Flour)
  • 1.5 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F/ 190C.
  2. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree and eggs to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Melt the coconut oil, as needed, and add it to the other wet ingredients. Stir the ingredients together until well-combined.
  4. Add the salt, pumpkin pie spice, instant oats, gluten-free all-purpose flour, and baking soda to the bowl. Mix until well-combined.
  5. Fold the chocolate chunks into the batter until evenly distributed.
  6. Line a muffin tin with 10-12 baking cups. Scoop the batter into the baking cups and bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
