Ingredients

Units Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup 100% pure pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flax + 3 tablespoons water, whisk together, set for 15 mins)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten free oat flourif using homemade, make sure it’s finely ground, not coarse
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup almond meal
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon*
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves*
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg*
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-in Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips

Optional Topping

  • 23 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips (mini and regular)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place cupcake liners in a standard, 12 muffin pan. Set aside.
  2. Add the wet ingredients to a large bowl: pumpkin, coconut oil, sugar, maple syrup, flax egg and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
  3. Add the dry ingredients: oat flour, cocoa powder, almond meal, baking soda, baking powder, spices and salt. Whisk together until difficult to stir. Using a rubber spatula, fold until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain. Fold in Add-in chocolate chips. Batter will be very thick—do not add in additional liquids.
  4. Using a large scoop, scoop and drop batter evenly into muffin cups. I use this ice cream scoop for easy scooping and a beautiful round top. If not using the scoop, smooth batter into an even layer, with a domed top (rise) in the center. To make large, domed tops, spread batter between 9 muffin cups. Optional: sprinkle and press chocolate chips into the tops of the muffins.
  5. Bake for 16-26 minutes (on the longer side for larger, fewer muffins). Mine took 22 minutes. Allow to cool on a cooling rack for about 1 hour. Lift out and enjoy!
