Your children will enjoy these healthy pumpkin muffins made with chocolate chips. They are tasty and easy to make, and yes, healthy. I know I’m posting quiet a lot of pumpkin recipes but I will move on after Halloween in a couple days, haha!

These muffins are nutritious and great to enjoy all day long. They make a good snack to pack in your kids or spouse’s lunch box. The muffins are not vegan or gluten-free but they are nut-free and made with high-quality ingredients like pastured eggs and organic spelt flour. I used pure maple syrup to sweeten only, which pairs beautifully with pumpkin flavours. They’re moist and yummy. Try them and let me know how you & the fam like them. 

Spices

I used a variety of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and vanilla. If you don’t have cloves, you can use allspice. If you miss some of those spices but have a pumpkin pie spice mix at home, you can definitely use that.

The chocolate I used in the muffins are vegan and come from Enjoy Life. They are allergen-free so again, great for the lunch box. If you don’t have any, you can use a good quality dark chocolate that you finely chop with a knife.

If you have fresh homemade pumpkin puree at home, use it. It always tastes better with fresh but canned will worked just as good.
