\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nHere\u2019s one thing I\u2019ve learned over the years while cooking real food for my family: Anytime you make something that the kids eat without complaining, AND they eat the whole dish, make it over and over again until they ask you to stop.<\/p>\n
And then freeze whatever they couldn\u2019t finish and serve it again in a month!<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what usually happens when I make things like Double Chocolate Waffles<\/a> and Pumpkin Donuts<\/a> and Sourdough Pancakes<\/a>.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s exactly what happened when I made this chocolate chip pumpkin muffins recipe!<\/p>\n By combining a whole can of pumpkin puree with simple ingredients like whole grain flour, eggs, and coconut oil, you end up with rich, moist muffins dotted with chocolate chips, perfect for breakfast on a chilly fall morning!<\/p>\n There are A LOT of recipes for pumpkin and chocolate chip muffins out there, and I understand why \u2013 it\u2019s a favorite fall treat!<\/p>\n Here\u2019s why we love this particular pumpkin muffin recipe so much:<\/p>\n On top of all of that, this pumpkin muffins recipe isn\u2019t finicky. You don\u2019t have to baby the batter or take any special care when mixing it up.<\/p>\n It\u2019s as simple as stir wet + add dry + fold chips + bake. And that\u2019s it!<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what you need to make these amazing pumpkin chocolate chunk muffins:<\/p>\n You can also add chopped nuts to the pumpkin muffins. Pecans<\/a> or walnuts<\/a> would be a yummy addition!<\/p>\n I mentioned that you can make this pumpkin and chocolate chip muffins recipe in one big bowl if you choose not to use a stand mixer. The instructions are simple and straightforward in either case.<\/p>\n Step 1. Preheat the oven<\/strong> to 400F.<\/p>\n Step 2. In a large bowl or the bowl of a <\/strong>stand mixer<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> add the eggs, pumpkin puree<\/a>, and coconut oil<\/a>, and mix to combine.<\/p>\n Step 3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients<\/strong> \u2013 whole wheat flour<\/a>, granulated sugar<\/a>, baking soda<\/a>, baking powder<\/a>, salt<\/a>, cinnamon<\/a>, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves \u2013 and stir until the mixture is combined. The batter will be thick.<\/p>\n Step 4. Fold in<\/strong> the chocolate chips<\/a>.<\/p>\n Step 5. Line two <\/strong>muffin tins<\/strong><\/a> with <\/strong>silicone muffin liners<\/strong><\/a> and use a large cookie scoop<\/a> to scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling them \u2154 of the way full.<\/p>\n Step 6. Bake for 20 minutes,<\/strong> or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you love these, try this Pumpkin Bread Recipe<\/a>!!<\/em><\/p>\n Whether you use a stand mixer or a bowl, I HIGHLY recommend investing in a large cookie scoop. I have this one<\/a>, and it makes pouring muffin batter CRAZY fast and easy. Plus, as a bonus, every muffin is the same size\u2026 so neither of the kids comes to me early in the morning whining \u201cBut THEY have a bigger muffin!\u201d<\/p>\n I also recommend using silicone muffin liners<\/a>. They\u2019re reusable, and once you make the initial investment, they\u2019ll last you forever! Plus, you\u2019ll never run out, as you do with paper liners. That means you can make this easy pumpkin muffins recipe whenever a craving hits!<\/p>\n Store any extra chocolate chip and pumpkin muffins in an airtight container<\/a> at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.<\/p>\n As written, this pumpkin muffins recipe will give you both carbohydrates and fat, but not a whole lot of protein. You\u2019ll want to plan your breakfast or snack accordingly to make sure you hit your protein goals.<\/p>\n My favorite pairing for pumpkin chocolate chip muffins is a bowl of nonfat Greek yogurt<\/a> on the side. Breakfast Sausage<\/a> or a Protein Smoothie<\/a> are also great options!<\/p>\n You can also replace some of the coconut oil in the recipe with applesauce or Greek yogurt for a lower-fat muffin.<\/p>\n Enjoying treats, especially homemade treats with simple ingredients, is a great start, but it\u2019s not enough. You also need to make sure you\u2019re getting enough protein to fuel your body. Try one of my favorite<\/em> High Protein Recipes on Repeat<\/em><\/a> \u2013 these are the meals I return to again and again to hit my protein goals!<\/em><\/p>\n You can use either one. I think canned pumpkin puree has more of a \u201cpumpkin\u201d flavor, so that\u2019s what I use. But fresh pumpkin will work! (If you\u2019ve never made it before, here\u2019s how to make homemade pumpkin puree<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n We\u2019re using whole grains and healthy fats, so I say yes! You can make them a smidgen healthier by using dark chocolate chips<\/a>. You can also use 50\/50 honey<\/a> and maple syrup<\/a> instead of the granulated sugar. I personally haven\u2019t tested that in THIS recipe, but I\u2019ve done that MANY times in other muffin recipes, and they\u2019ve always turned out delicious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Download the top 15+ recipes that are on repeat in my house, making it easy to feed my family AND meet my protein goals!\n\t\t\t\t <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Tiffany<\/span><\/p>\n This easy pumpkin muffins recipe makes a large batch of moist and fluffy muffins studded with chocolate chips, perfect for breakfast or snacking.<\/span><\/p>\nHow do you make the best pumpkin muffins recipe?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
