How To Make Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Pumpkin Spice Muffin Variations

Fold In Chocolate Chips: If you want chocolate flavor in these pumpkin muffins, fold some mini chocolate chips into the batter before baking the muffins. We like using mini chocolate chops to disperse chocolate flavor evenly. You can even roughly chop regular-sized chocolate chips and fold them in. Also, you can use sugar-free chocolate chips or vegan chocolate chips.
Make Your Own Pumpkin Pie Spice: If you don’t have any pumpkin pie spice on hand you can make your own! Simply combine 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg, and a pinch of ground cloves.
What Sweetener To Use: You can sweeten these muffins with brown sugar or a 1:1 sugar replacement such as Swerve brown sugar or brown monk fruit.
