Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 15 ounces pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup sugar, Swerve, or monk fruit
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips or sugar-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to a bowl. Mix these dry ingredients.
  • Add the eggs to a separate large bowl and whisk them. After that, add the vanilla extract, unsweetened applesauce, pumpkin puree, and sweetener to the bowl with the whisked eggs. Then, combine these wet ingredients.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients a little at a time until fully combined. Don't over-mix the batter.
  • Lightly fold the mini chocolate chips into the batter. Optional: You can save some of the mini chocolate chips to add on top of the muffins.
  • Lightly spray a non-stick silicone muffin pan with oil or use parchment muffin liners. Then, pour the batter into the muffin pan. This recipe makes about 12 muffins. Optional: Add mini chocolate chips on top of the muffins before baking.
  • Bake the muffins at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 24-28 minutes and enjoy!

Notes

  • Chocolate Chips: We recommend using mini chocolate chips in this recipe to evenly disperse chocolate flavor throughout the muffins.
  • Fold In The Chocolate Chips: After the muffin batter is combined, gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the batter.
  • Add Chocolate Chips On Top: If you want, you can save some of the mini chocolate chips or add additional chocolate chips to the top of the muffins before baking them.
  • Pumpkin Puree: Make sure to use pumpkin puree in this recipe, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice: If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, combine 1 ½ teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon of ground ginger, and a pinch of cloves.
