Indulge in Fall Bliss with Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Muffins

Today’s Healthy Dessert: Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Muffins

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a delightful dessert recipe with a twist. With autumn just around the corner, I’m feeling inspired to create a cozy treat that combines the warm flavors of pumpkin spice with the indulgence of chocolate chips. This recipe is perfect for a chilly evening at home or a weekend brunch with friends.

Ingredients:

• 200g pumpkin puree
• 150g whole wheat flour
• 100g coconut sugar
• 120ml almond milk
• 100g chocolate chips
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp salt

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• muffin tin
• mixing spoon
• oven

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond milk, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Once the batter is mixed, gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each one about two-thirds full.

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The kitchen will be filled with the warm aroma of pumpkin spice as the muffins bake to golden perfection.

Once the muffins are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before enjoying. These pumpkin spice chocolate chip muffins are best served warm, with a cup of tea or coffee on the side.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each muffin before baking. This adds a subtle savory note that complements the sweetness of the chocolate chips and pumpkin spice beautifully.
