­­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? ๐Ÿ˜‰ 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. ๐Ÿ˜‰ 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?

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF. 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 canโ€”the batter will be thick. Switch to folding with a rubber spatula until no flour patches remain. Do not add additional liquidsโ€”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 scoopย to create beautiful domed tops. If not using a scoop, use a rubber spatula to smooth batter into an even layer with a domed topโ€”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!

    Notes

    • *If using homemade oat flour, make sure to sift the flour to remove coarse bits of oats that could create grainy muffins.
    • **Instead of pumpkin pie spice, you can use: 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ยฝ teaspoon ground cloves, and ยฝ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
    • To Store: cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
    • To Transport: use this muffin holder. It's two tiered and holds two batches of muffins!
    • To Freeze: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. Allow to thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes, or pop in the microwave for 30 seconds or more.

      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.

      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! ๐Ÿ™‚
      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

      1. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:

        Come on over, my friend! ๐Ÿ™‚ 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

    7. Megan - The Emotional Baker says:

      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 ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:

        Pie is no joke! That’s for sure! ๐Ÿ˜‰ 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! ๐Ÿ™‚

      Second also, can’t wait to give these a try, obviously .

      1. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:
