Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
SERVES 12 , 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips or carob chips
- 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350º. Spray a nonstick muffin tin sprayed well with nonstick spray, or line the tin with paper muffin cups and spray the cups with nonstick spray. Set aside.2
Put the pumpkin, water, canola oil, ground flax seed, and vanilla in a blender and process on high for at least one minute, until light in color and well-blended. Set aside.3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the pumpkin mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon or large spatula until well-blended. If the mixture seems a little dry, add extra water. Fold in the chocolate chips or carob chips and nuts.4
Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, distributing evenly to make 12 muffins. Sprinkle the top of each muffin with sugar, if desired.5
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a cake tested inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then use a spatula to gently lift each muffin from the muffin tin. Finish cooling on a wire rack.

These muffins are AWESOME!! A great recipe that has enough sweetness but lots of healthy ingredients. I made a few changes/substitutions though; I used 1 cup whole wheat flour and 2/3 cup all purpose flour, and cut down the sugar to 1/2 cup. I used about 1/3 to 1/2 cup chocolate chips. It is a dense muffin, but so good. I used an extra large muffin tin for this one (6) and cooked at the same temperature and time. Thanks for sharing!

Yum! I made these this morning to send in my DD's lunch. She and I each had one for breakfast as well and LOVED them. I followed the recipe exactly as stated (except I used safflower oil instead of canola) and they came out perfectly. Thanks for posting this! We're big fans of the Vegan Lunch Box.

Fantastic! I loved them and so did my kids which is an automatic 5 stars at my house! Don't be afraid of the word "vegan," these don't taste healthy at all. Sweet, almost like a cupcake. I omitted the nuts, otherwise made as stated. Will be making these again and again! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I doubled the recipe but only used a 15 oz. can of pumpkin. I used all whole wheat flour except for 2/3 c. regular white flour. and only put in 2/3 c. sugar. Hmm...okay, I also left out the nuts and compensated by upping the amount of chocolate chips. Fantastic results!!! Will most definitely be making it again.
