Gluten Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe (GF): this easy gluten free pumpkin muffins recipe makes perfectly spiced pumpkin muffins with a beautiful domed top! The best GF pumpkin muffins—made in 1-bowl with healthy, whole ingredients.
As I write this, my kitchen is filled with all the fall scents: pumpkin, maple pecan pumpkin muffins, cinnamon, cloves and… well, irresistible healthy pumpkin pie overnight oats. Something about a new week kicked off with gluten free pumpkin muffins makes me feel like smiling. Make that gluten free pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.
But maybe it’s also because of the trials it took to crack the gluten free vegan pumpkin bread that led to these pumpkin muffins. Ladies, gents, friends, there’s just something about pumpkin baked goods that makes life so much better and tastier. Amiriiiiiight? Anywho, the trials for gluten free pumpkin bread were a real treat. It totally rekindled my love of baking.
Whaaaaaaaa you say? How could Beaming Baker not LOVE baking? Well, sometimes baking doesn’t love Beaming Baker. Side note: now I totally feel sufficiently weird referring to myself in the third person. Ahem.
Back on point, baking can be quite the trial. In fact, it can still lead to a few very unsightly, unlovable and straight up sad-looking temperature tantrums in the kitchen. This may or may not have happened during the trials for my Gluten Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Breakfast Bars and my Healthy Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins (Vegan, Gluten Free). But don’t tell anyone, okay? 😉 Yep, temperature tantrums.
The Long Road to Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins with so much Chocolate!!
I totally just read that last line to Erik and we both looked at each other like, “What the fajitas is a ‘temperature tantrum?'” Then, Erik said, “Is the OVEN getting mad??” But seriously, it probably is. Had enough from the likes of me. It was pushed passed its boiling broiling point.
These temperature tantrums included promises to never bake again (yeah, right), extensive eye-glares at my jars of ground cinnamon and other spices (they know what they did), finger-wagging at my measuring cups (innocent bystanders, let’s be honest), and utter and complete loss of faith in humanity—as it relates to baking, of course.
And when I’m done being dramatic, and chide myself for being so immature and impatient, I actually find that I learned something… whaddya know? Learning. How cute. 😉 Developing the final recipe for gluten free pumpkin bread—which is the basis for this delicious gluten free pumpkin muffins recipe—was no walk in the park. But in the end, it was totally & deliciously worth it.
Woohoo!! Now, allow me to introduce you to my One Bowl Gluten Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. Is there really a word in that recipe name that you don’t like?

Description
Gluten Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe (GF): this easy gluten free pumpkin muffins recipe makes perfectly spiced pumpkin muffins! The best GF pumpkin muffins—made in 1-bowl with healthy, whole ingredients.
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup 100% pure pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flax + 3 tablespoons water, whisk together, set for 15 mins)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten free oat flour – if using homemade oat flour, make sure it’s finely ground (not coarse)*
- ½ cup almond meal
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice**
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Add-in Ingredients
- ¾ to 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
Optional Topping
- 2 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place cupcake liners in a standard, 12-muffin pan. Set aside.
- Add the wet ingredients to a large bowl: pumpkin, coconut oil, maple syrup, sugar, flax egg, and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients: oat flour, almond meal, baking soda, baking powder, spice and salt. Whisk as long as you can—the batter will be thick. Switch to folding with a rubber spatula until no flour patches remain. Do not add additional liquids—the batter is meant to be very thick. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Using a large scoop, scoop and drop batter evenly into the muffin pan. I use this ice cream scoop to create beautiful domed tops. If not using a scoop, use a rubber spatula to smooth batter into an even layer with a domed top—the batter will bake up very close to how it looks raw. To make large, domed tops, spread batter between 9 muffin cups.
- Bake for 18-25 minutes (on the longer end for larger, fewer muffins). Mine took 22 minutes.
- Allow to cool on a cooling rack for 1 hour, or until completely cool. Enjoy!

Soooooo good. My kids absolutely LOVE these. Have to make 2-3 batches at a time or they are wiped out within an hour!
★★★★★
Woohoo! That’s so wonderful to hear Sarah! .
Wow, that’s so wonderful to hear Sarah! I’m beyond happy that your little ones enjoy them! .
We absolutely love this recipe, thank you! I want to make these for both my kids classes this week. Two questions for you: one class has a couple vegan kids do you think a flax egg will work well? Second class has a nut allergy and curious what you would swap for the almond flour? Tiger nut/ coconut? I’m nervous to mess up such a delicious recipe! Thank you!
Sorry I realised your recipe calls for a flax egg already! I usually make with an actual egg. .♀️
Hi Jody! I’m so happy to hear that you love my recipe. 🙂 Flax egg: I just saw your other comment, so yes on that one. Hehe! Nut allergy swap: try sunflower seed meal. If not, try swapping with 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons additional GF oat flour. You might have to make it a few times ‘til you get the right texture with the additional oat flour. Good luck!
These look so delicious, I can’t wait to try them! Do you have any GF Vegan scone recipes? Thank you!!!
Hi Rose, thanks so much! No GF scone recipes yet, unfortunately. 🙁 Can’t wait to hear what you think of these pumpkin muffins!
wow, love pumpkin during the fall time and love that pumpkin muffins are still an option for gluten free vegan friends! thanks for sharing
★★★★★
Absolutely! Hope you enjoy the recipe Natasha!
These are my new favorite muffins! It’s so difficult to find gluten free recipes even my kids will enjoy, but this for sure is one of the best.
★★★★★
Oh that’s so wonderful to hear Echo! . I’m beyond happy that the kiddos enjoyed the muffins. Thanks for letting me know!
These muffins are so good! My whole family loved them.
★★★★★
Yay!! I’m so glad that you and your family loved my pumpkin muffins recipe!! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by to let me know. Happy baking!
First of all chocolate chips can never be an optional topping. It is obligatory in my bool. I am loving this recipe and saving it for later.
★★★★★
LOL I like the way you think! . Happy baking Emese!
M’mmm…chocolate and pumpkin – what’s not to love about that combo??
★★★★★
Can’t think of a single thing not to love! .
In love with these!! Was looking for a pumpkin muffin recipe, and this one is perfect with the healthier ingredients. So yum!
★★★★★
Woohoo!!! It truly is! Enjoy.
So easy and delicious! Love that these are made in just one bowl!
★★★★★
Woohoo!! Glad to hear you enjoyed them, Taylor! 🙂
I made this in the early morning and was so thrilled with the way it turned out! Hope my best friend enjoys it too.
★★★★★
Yay!!! That’s wonderful to hear, Heidy! Can’t wait to hear what you best friend thinks. 🙂
Looks so lovely! I love pumpkin and chocolate together!
Thanks Kate! They truly are such a delightful combo! Happy baking. 🙂
Yummmmm! I’ve never seen such a gorgeous rise on GF baked goods. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places. Can’t wait to make these for my family members that are GF. Thanks!
★★★★★
Yes!!! The trick to this GF pumpkin muffin is that the batter is so thick that, with the use of the large ice cream scoop (yes ice cream scoop!!) to scoop it, the batter will bake up in that shape! 🙂 Enjoy.
I’m absolutely loving your recipes and am so grateful for your work and your sharing these. I’m on the go a lot and don’t have much of an appetite, but love snacking on healthy muffins when I’m busy. I keep dishing out $5-6 at my local gluten free bakery for muffins and my wallet is NOT happy. Your recipes are so easy to follow, so lovely, and so reliable. Thank you x 1 million!
Omigosh!! Sarah, I’m sending you so many big hugs of gratitude for taking the time to write your lovely comment. 🙂 I’m beyond pleased that you’re loving my recipes! Also, I FEEL ya on not wanting to shell out that much moola for one muffin! Hugs & the biggest “you’re SO welcome” from me. 🙂
Love these muffins! I have made them at least a dozen times and each time they come out perfect! I have even substituted cooked squash for the pumpkin and they came out great. They make perfect mini muffins too. Thanks again!
★★★★★
Woohoo!! That’s so wonderful to hear, Naomi. 🙂 Ooh, I love that the cooked squash worked too! Thank YOU for taking the time to let me know. Hugs!
WOW! These are seriously the best pumpkin muffins I’ve ever made. I was a little scared they would turn out weird and not rise as many GF recipes have for me but these are moist and rose a lot! I made sure to have all ingredients room temp (that helps!) and fluffed up the flour as I measured. I used 1 organic egg (I’m not vegan) instead and maybe that helped too. I didn’t have maple syrup so I used 1/4 c agave and the extra 2 T i used molasses which really added to the pumpkin spice flavor! I also used organic raisins in place of the chocolate chips! Will make again for sure!!!
★★★★★
Woohoo! . I agree, flat/collapsed muffins are the worst. I’m loving all your subs and swaps. I’m so happy you enjoyed the muffins Virginia!
These turned out great! i did 1 cup of oat bran + 1 cup of brown rice flour (cause I ran out of oat) and also subbed the sugar products with date syrup that I made (9 dates + 1 1/4 cup warm water, soak 30 mins and blend) and everything turned out amazing! I was totally on the hunt for a way to use up my pumpkin puree and this totally hit the spot!
★★★★★
Nice, love the improvising Nicole! So glad everything turned out well. And yay for putting that leftover pumpkin puree to good use! ☺️
I can’t wait to try these. I just need a substitution for the almond meal. Can GF all purpose flour work? I’m new in the GF diet, so would enjoy trying these out for a quick breakfast, and dessert!
Hi Leticia, I know a few readers have tried subbing the almond meal with GF all purpose flour with success. My best guess is to substitute the almond meal with half the amount of GF all purpose flour. Let me know how it turns out. Good luck!
Thank you for the substitution recommendation. I went with the exact recipe and used almond meal. Delicious! My two daughters (4 and almost 2) already enjoyed one each. Well… and so did I! Thank you so much for this healthy, GF, dairy-free recipe! We’re going to try the chocolate chip cookie recipe next. Can’t wait!
Wonderful! When the kiddos like it, you know you have a winner. 😉 Thank you for taking the time to let me know how it turned out. Can’t wait to hear what you all think of the chocolate chip cookie! 🙂
Loving you for making all those mistakes so we don’t have to! These were fantastic. Used brown sugar and real egg and came out great – perfect for me (GF), my son (dairy-free) and my daughter (just plain picky). Mmmm!
Haha! Yep, that’s my job! I’m so happy to hear that these muffins turned out so well for you. Happy to hear that your subs worked as well. 🙂 Also, you totally made me crack up with the “just plain picky” comment. Lisa, kudos to you for taking the time to make something for that everyone enjoyed!
Hi Julie, the problem is the coconut flour substitution. Without question, it caused a major imbalance in the dry/wet ratio of this recipe. Coconut flour is VERY absorbent–about 3x more absorbent than oat flour. I feel ya though! I had to learn the hard way when I first started using coconut flour. Let’s just say that it’s very… unique. 😉 Hope you get to try the muffins again and won’t judge it by the initial coconut flour sub. Happy baking! 🙂
Thank you!!! I just learned an important lesson about coconut flour. A friend told I could have used my gf oatmeal(quick oats) in a blender to make oat flour.
I am (maybe not so) ashamed to say that I usually get swept up in the pumpkin fall craze and so naturally, I had to make these. I followed the recipe to the T and they did not disappoint—pumpkin, chocolate, moist perfection. I made them last night and I might need another batch to make it through the work week! Or hide them from my husband! Hahaha! Thank you for sharing your recipe!!
★★★★★
Don’t be ashamed! Just enjoy it–and it you feel embarrassed, just think of me going 2000% crazier over pumpkin and instantly feel better. 😉 Hiding from your husband: LOL! That’s when you know you have a winner. I’m so pleased that the two of you enjoyed my recipe. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. 🙂 Happy baking!
Hi Demeter,
I made this recipe this morning and these muffins came out amazingly! I followed your recipe exactly and have already eaten more than one muffin. (Ok, more than two. But I will not go into exactly how many. LOL). They were delicious!!
As a side note, I have loved watching your blog grow. You continue to impress me with your incredible creative recipes and fun blog posts. I feel like I know you! Thank you for providing us with healthy, easy ways to enjoy yummy baked goods. Please keep it up!
★★★★★
Hi Lucy! So happy to hear that you’re enjoying one (or two) of these muffins! 🙂 Thank you SO much for your incredibly kind and sweet comment–it’s truly made my day (and it’s Monday, so that’s kind of a BIG deal hehe). Can’t wait to share more recipes and stories with you. I hope I never let you down. <3
These look so good!! I just made them (still in oven). The batter was really thick. I substituted the almond meal for a gf flour blend, left out a couple tbsp of the oat flour as suggested in another comment. Is the normal batter that thick? Triple checked recipe. Thanks. Can’t wait to try them.
Hi Tracie! How’d the muffins turn out? 🙂 I use the same batter in this recipe: https://beamingbaker.com/gluten-free-maple-pecan-pumpkin-muffins-gf-vegan-dairy-free-refined-sugar-free-video/ You’ll be able to see exactly what the texture should be like in the video above the recipe. Hope they turned out great! 🙂
These muffins turned out great! They were a hit with my whole family. Delicious!! Put a little coconut oil on them and they were more like dessert. Best gf baked good I’ve had for a long time. I will definitely check out the recipe link. Thanks so much for the wonderful recipe! Looking forward to trying more of your recipes.☺
★★★★★
Wonderful! I’m so happy to hear that the entire family enjoyed them. 🙂 Thank you for taking the time to report back. Can’t wait to hear what recipe you try next!
Hi there,
Hurry trying your recipe 2 night
I trying both your pumpkin muffins and pumpkin chocolate chip but I want to Subsitute a real egg for flax egg will this work
? Should I bake same time and temp
Thank you
Tara
Hi Tara! That swap should work fine. No need to change the bake time. Happy baking!
These muffins look amazing! Would I be a able to substitute the oat flour? I tried oat flour in a different recipe and didn’t really like the texture. Everything I have made from your blog has been really good so far !
Hi Kajien! Did you try oat flour in one of my recipes or someone else’s? If it was for someone else, you might like the texture in mine (never know ’til you try, right?). A few readers have recently told me they’ve tried gluten free all purpose flour with tasty results. Either way, let me know how they turn out! 🙂 P.S. So happy to hear you’ve been enjoying everything here!
This looks like a fantastic recipe, love the simplicity of the ingredients. I can’t eat oats, any recommendations on what I could replace the oat flour with? Thanks!
Hi Jaimie! Thank you. 🙂 You can try using a gluten free all purpose flour, but be sure to leave out a tablespoon or two of flour. It tends to be a bit drier than oat flour. You might need to adjust the flour a bit more, depending on what level of moistness you like in your muffins. Enjoy! 🙂
Really great recipe! Followed it exactly and really enjoyed the results. Tonight I’m subbing raisins soaked in boiling water for ten mins and upping the spices. Thanks!!
Thank you, Chantelle. 🙂 Oh gosh, adding those soaked raisins and increasing the spice sounds amazing! Enjoy! And it’s absolutely my pleasure! 🙂
Hi Demeter, I would like to know if I can replace the almond flour for brown rice flour, and maple syrup? Can I use cold pressed oil? I am from Argentina and some ingredients I can not find. Thank you very much. They look delicious!
★★★★
Hi Antonieta, okay, let’s see. Almond flour: I’ve never tried using brown rice flour as a substitute, but it should be okay. The texture will be a bit different, but somewhat similar. Maple syrup: can be replaced with honey. Cold pressed oil: Are you asking if you can replace coconut oil with any cold pressed oil? If so, I think it should be fine. As long as you keep in mind that any oils you use with a strong aroma/flavor would affect the taste of the muffins (for example, olive oil). With all of these substitutions, I’d recommend going into this recipe with an open mind. 🙂 Baking experimentation can be tricky, but lots of fun! Let me know how it turns out! 🙂
Ok, thank you Demeter, I’ll try. I’ll tell you later how it came out 😀
These are more like cookies! They are the best pumpkin muffins we have ever have! My kids were hesitant to taste pumpkin muffins and they loved them!
★★★★★
That’s awesome, Erin! 🙂 It can definitely be a challenge to get the kiddos to enjoy pumpkin. I’m so happy that you and your family enjoyed these. Thank you for letting me know. Happy baking! 🙂
I made these a couple weeks ago and they were so good. I’m really bad about seeing new recipes online and trying them but forget what recipe I used when I want to make it again. Thankfully, I’d “pinned” your recipe and last night I made them again. Just wanted to let you know HOW GOOD they are! Today, I’ve printed the recipe to go into my “tried and true” recipe collection so that I won’t have to look far next time 🙂 Thanks for this wonderful muffin recipe!
★★★★★
Thank goodness for Pinterest, right? 🙂 I’m so happy that you enjoyed these, Stephanie! Great idea on printing this out to avoid the search later. I have been there and it’s not cute! 😉 Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know how these turned out. Can’t wait to hear what you try next! Happy baking. xo
Having baked for three years for my baking company, I TOTALLY understand falling out of love with baking (even if for just a little bit). Totally normal!! In any case, these muffins are proof that you should ALWAYS continue to keep going!! Look at those chocolate chips just calling my name! Love these yummy muffins Demeter!
Thanks J! Yeah… sometimes we just need a break from it all. Lol. Aw, thanks!! There’s just something about baking that I can never give up on. 😉 Yep, they’re calling your name! Thanks J! 🙂
The trials of baking are the main reason I don’t have a baking blog – so many things can go wrong! So I applaud your efforts, and know that we are all better for having your expertly tested recipes! Also – these muffins – OMG! Pumpkin and chocolate all in a delicious muffin, I really wouldn’t ask for anything more.
★★★★★
Lol. Don’t I know it! 😉 Aw, thanks so much Meghan! Chocolate and pumpkin… what could be better? Maybe PB and pumpkin? 😉 xo
Kitchen disasters…hahaha, you make me laugh every time 😀
You know, I’m not a baker, I’ve definitely had my fair share in making horrible recipe!
Anyways, these muffins look extremely moist and delicious, and I’m almost sure these are the prettiest pumpkin muffins I’ve ever seen! Pinned, of course.
Have an awesome weekend!
Girl, it gets cray up in here! Lol. You gotta make some horrible stuff to finally get to something good. 😉 Aw, thanks so much Evi! Have a great weekend too! xo
Fall spices, sweet pumpkin puree, maple syrup, CHOCOLATE chips … And these one bowl muffins. Yes and Yes! Perfect combo. I know exactly how your kitchen smells heheh we are rocking with fall pumpkin recipes, right?! These muffins look perfect! Can’t wait to see your pie 😉
I love all of the yes’s! 😉 So right! Bring ’em all on! Thanks so much Natalie!
Oh My Gosh!!! I want to dive mouth first into this Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins.This may just be the most delicious looking Muffins I’ve ever seen. Awesome share Demeter….Pinning
Thanks so much Puja! Mouth-first seems like the best idea. 😉
Oh Demeter – I wish I could click my heels and magically be transported into your kitchen filled “with all the fall scents: pumpkin, maple, cinnamon, cloves and pie” AND these decadently moist One Bowl Gluten Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins! Gosh girl, I’d be like a kid in a candy store because – me think you be way too hard on yourself and even these “Fails” of yours would have me devouring them – only, I have half a mind to not let on on how good they really would be because then you’d have to interrupt my devouring and have to take pictures and all that other food blogger jazz! 🙂
This fall I don’t have any big plans other than make football party food and take it over to friends places so I can eat ALL the football food while everyone else enjoys the game! Yup – that and to try and talk my daughter into going trick or treating – I have 32 days to do so!
Sending you all positive vibes so that your next pie attempt is an uber hit and your weekend is the bestest!
xoxo
Come on over, my friend! 🙂 Oh, Shashi… you would not want to eat those fails at all. Lol. Trust me, if you were my enemy… I might still hesitate. Lol.Food blogger jazz: isn’t that how it always goes! Haha. Best of luck on talking your daughter into going trick or treating! You can do it, Shashi! <3 Thanks so much for the good vibes, my friend. Have an amazing weekend! xoxo
I used to not be a big pie fan either. Mainly because every time I tried to make one I had a big messy failure on my hands. But just in the last few months I’ve grown to love them. I’ve been doing a little fall pie experimenting, too. Can’t wait to see yours – I know you’ll get them right!!
On to these muffins, so perfect and beautiful! As soon as my pantry’s replenished with pumpkin, I’ll have to try these 🙂
Pie is no joke! That’s for sure! 😉 I’m so happy to hear that you’ve been doing some experimenting! Thanks for the vote of confidence, Megan. Can’t wait to hear how you like these! 🙂
Whoa baby! YOU ACED these muffins! ACED THEM! They look sooooo good!
Yeah!!! Thanks GiGi! 🙂
Just came across your blog and saw the most delicious pumpkin chocolate chip muffins ever! They looked so soft and moist that I almost took a pie from the screen. Thanks for sharing!
★★★★★
Thank you so much, Yi! 🙂 I hope you get a chance to try them!
This post literally had me dying laughing, so thanks for that. Also, thanks for all the gems I’ll be attempting to work into normal conversation over the next week: temperature tantrums, what the fajitas, broiling point, plumplishly…LOL I’m dying all over again . . .
Second also, can’t wait to give these a try, obviously .
It’s good that someone else gets what the fajitas I’m actually talking about. Lol. 😉 I look forward to hearing all the ways you work broiling point and more into your everyday convo! Heh heh. Thanks Giselle! Can’t wait to hear what you think of these! 😉
Demeter!! You know how to speak to my soul with all this chocolate and pumpkiny goodness. Any fewer chocolate chips atop those beautiful domes would be unacceptable.
Also, I love when I actually learn something from baking, it’s a nice feeling! I’m going to need some of these muffins in my life for breakfasts on the go…which is every day. I won’t lie to us. 🙂 have a great week!!
Jessica!! 😉 You know I love speaking to your soul… with ALL the melty chocolate! Unacceptable: Lolol. Thank you for not lying to us! Heh heh. Have a fantastic week, Jess! 🙂
Oh, girl, I feel ya! You know I’ve had my kitchen disasters too. Can be so frustrating at times! But, when you make something and it turns out good, it’s all worth it 😀 Looking forward to seeing your pumpkin pie recipe! Woo hoo! And these muffins look scrumptious! All things pumpkin, all things Fall for me…and chocolate just adds that little sumthin’ sumthin’. Pinned, of course. Hope your week is going week, my friend!
Those kitchen disasters just increase our stamina in the kitchen, I say! Hahaha. Totally worth it–we just have to hang in there and remember that, instead of darting side-eye glares at the cinnamon. Lolol. Have a great week! Thanks friend! 🙂
You know how I feel about chocolate so I’m already thinking about when I can make these muffins! This weekend??? Extra chocolate too please!
★★★★★
Yes, I do! Especially because we share a VERY important Lifetime Membership to the Chocolate Lovers’ Club. 😉 Yeah! All the extra chocolate for you, Karebear. <3
I bet your house smells fantastic, love those fall spices in the oven. Thanks for this delicious moist muffin recipe. Perfect snacks for work and school lunches. Sharing!
★★★★★
It smells good enough to eat. 😉 That explains a lot actually… hehe. These would be wonderful snacks. Thanks Bobbi! 🙂
These are the most plumpishly perfect pumpkin muffins I ever did see! (Got something to say about that autocorrect? I didn’t think so. Sorry, just had to get sassy with autocorrect…it wanted to fight me on “plumpishly”.) And while I love pumpkin pie and am massively looking forward to yours, pie does not have pockets of gooey melty chocolate nor is it plumpish like a poofy pumpkin muffin. The mini AND big chips were a very good choice, variety is the spice of life after all. Although right now it seems like pumpkin spice is the spice of life…hmmm perhaps it’s both. Anywho, I just might throw a temperature tantrum if I don’t get to taste one of these plumpish pastries soon, so will you send a few my way!? While I wait for the pie 🙂 P.S. It’s cool if you and baking sometimes don’t get along because you always have the beaming part covered!☀︎ xo
You stick it to autocorrect and you stick it plumpishly! Er… something. You go and be sassy! I’m always for it! 😉 Variety is totally the spice of life! Lol. See, this is why we’re friends. 😉 It’s probably both. 😉 Sending some your way. Beaming: Guess what I’m doing right this second? <3
You’re working on a pumpkin pie? YES, I can’t wait to see it! Ugh, I’ve had many trial and errors in the kitchen, and many more to come, haha!
Chocolate chip pumpkin muffins – what can I say? I LOVE muffins, pumpkin, and of course chocolate chips! These look like the most perfect muffins for breakfast this autumn! 🙂
★★★★★
Yep! But it might just be working on me… Jury’s still out on that one, Marsha. Lol. Such a relief to hear that a culinary genius like you actually has trial and errors in the kitchen. 😉 Thank you so much my friend! xo
My plans for fall are learning to walk again after my hip surgery last Friday. The sooner I can walk unassisted, the sooner I can fight with my oven to make more good recipes like these yummy pumpkin filled muffins!
Aw darn, I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through that. Thinking good thoughts for you for a quick recovery. 🙂
Lol. You are such a hoot, D to the Meter! Seriously, your blog is my happy place. 😉 BUT, did you really want me to send you an email because *ahhh hem* pumpkin. Bahahahaha. Seriously though, as someone who doesn’t love pumpkin, you are really going to make me question myself this season – I can already FEEL it! Prime example, these muffins! They look all sorts of perfect, mi-lady! I know! I JUST SAID PERFECT… and there is pumpkin involved!! What the whaa? I’m thinking you need to send me a dozen of these and I will probably become a pumpkin convert. As my bestie, I think you are going to make me become a better person (read: I may become friends with pumpkin) PINNED! Cheers, sweets! xoxo
★★★★★
D’aww… you’re gonna make me blush, I’m sure of it! . D’oh on your pumpkin… situation. 😉 I know I can turn you around! But if I can’t, I can still make ya something else. After all, that’s what besties do for each other. <3 Perfect: I'll take it! Well, I already know you make me a better person, so I can only hope I do the same for you. <3 Mwah! xo
Yay pumpkin and chocolate chips!!! The best things about Fall…only the food…only the food.
The taste smell and comfort of it all!
Double yay! The food is absolutely one of the best parts! 🙂
The scent of cozy fall spices is one of my favorite things about fall. And PIE! Hooray for pie! I love finding new variations on pumpkin pie, so I can’t wait to see your recipe. And you’re so right, baking can take a lot out of you, but it’s so worth it when you create happy accidents, or a new creation. And these muffins look spot on, Demeter! Pumpkin muffins are just about my favorite, so I love the sweet chocolate chips in here. Makes such a delicious breakfast or dessert! Pinned, of course! Hope your Monday is off to a wonderful start!
Totally one of the very best things about fall. 🙂 Pie: it’s all in the details, right? Cross your fingers for me and wish me luck on this pie mission! 😉 Happy accidents are the best. I need more of those. Lol. Thank you for your sweet words, G. Happy Monday! xo
