whole wheat chocolate chip pumpkin muffins

 

It officially feels like fall, so I think something warm and pumpkiny is in order. I made these muffins this weekend and it is a really easy recipe to put together. I tried to substitute some of the ingredients for more healthy alternatives, since Rowan would be eating these. I will make another version where I substitute the chocolate chips for raisins and add walnuts for a good breakfast muffin.

You can make these little pumpkin toppers so easily, and I thought they could be fun for halloween. You can find a printable of the pumpkins here.

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins
Print recipe here

3/4 cup agave or honey
1 egg
1 2/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup coconut oil or melted butter
2/3 cup milk
15 oz. pumpkin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a muffin pan with oil or butter.

Mix agave and egg until blended. Stir in remaining wet ingredients and combine. Then mix in dry ingredients making sure not to over-mix. Add chocolate chips.

Drop batter into muffin pan about 3/4 full. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a knife or toothpick inserted comes out clean. Ovens vary so check the muffins at about 20 minutes.

Print the pumpkins onto card stock. Use hole punch or scissors cut them into circles. (If you are using scissors feel free to cut different shapes.) Glue two of the circles back to back surrounding a paper straw or toothpick. I used paper straws, since I wanted them to be safe for Rowan to handle.
