Scrumptious Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

pumpkin chocolate chip muffins

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour)
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar (or another unrefined sugar of your choice)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free, dark chocolate chips (look for options with higher cocoa content)

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or olive oil
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: whole wheat pastry flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger).
  • In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, melted coconut oil (or olive oil), and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Gently fold in the dairy-free dark chocolate chips into the batter.
  • Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (with some melted chocolate on it).
  • Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once the muffins are cool, enjoy your healthier vegan pumpkin chocolate chip muffins!

These muffins are a better-for-you option with whole wheat flour, unrefined sugar, and healthier fat sources. They’re still delicious and perfect for a guilt-free treat. Enjoy!

In 1996, something happened that changed my life forever. And, in turn changed many other lives, too. At the time I was in college working toward my degree in Psychology & Criminology. The summer before my senior year of college I was hit head on by a drunk driver.
