Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups oat flour I like to blend dry oats to make my own 👌🏼
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Then, line a muffin tin with paper liners and give them a quick spritz of nonstick spray to ensure your muffins release easily.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients - pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients - oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the warm, comforting pumpkin pie spice.
- Now, it's time to marry the wet and dry ingredients. Pour the dry mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir until everything is beautifully combined.
- Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
- Using a scoop or spoon, portion the muffin batter into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Bake them in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once your muffins have achieved golden perfection remove them from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
