Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

What could possibly make pumpkin muffins even better? Mini chocolate chips! Our healthy pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are made with white whole-wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour and are sweetened with just the right amount of brown sugar to make them sweet without being cloying.

Ingredients

  1. 1 ¼ cups white whole-wheat flour
  2. 1 ¾ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  3. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  4. ½ teaspoon baking soda
  5. ¼ teaspoon salt
  6. 1 cup unseasoned pumpkin puree
  7. ⅔ cup packed light brown sugar
  8. ¼ cup buttermilk
  9. ¼ cup melted butter
  10. 2 large eggs
  11. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  12. ¾ cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Whisk flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Whisk pumpkin puree, brown sugar, buttermilk, butter, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Divide the batter between the muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
