Thanks to my pumpkin chocolate chip muffin recipe my whole house smells like autumn. Yum!

It’s finally fall – even here in the South where fall seems to come a little later each year. That means, in addition to the fantastic fall foliage and wonderful weather we can once again enjoy fantastic fall food. Hearty chili, creamy potato soup, easy slow cooker roast, pork chops with fried apples, quinoa-stuffed roasted acorn squash and butternut squash soup will be appearing on my meal planner over the coming weeks.

Today, I’m sharing my recipe for the perfect Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. These muffins are dense, moist and rich – in addition to being addictive (don’t say I didn’t warn you!) They bring to mind the taste of grandma’s pumpkin pie with a pop of dark chocolate in just the right places.

I love them, my kids love them and I usually bake at least a double batch to freeze. These pumpkin chocolate chip muffins make a great on-the-go breakfast when we have to leave the house early to travel for soccer games. They are as filling as they are delicious.

Although the recipe is for a dozen regular sized muffins, you could also make mini muffins for a fun sized treat. Or, if you care about your caloric intake. Or, whatever.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins Made with Gluten Free Flour are Delicious

If you’d prefer gluten-free pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, I have a little secret that you’ll love. Last spring I discovered Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Flour mix. It’s easy to use because you don’t have to worry about substitution measurements. Just use it as you would regular flour in your recipes.We love it in our baked goods.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins Made with Sprouted Flour are Amazing

If you’re not looking for a gluten free recipe but you want to use a flour that is more nutritious than conventional all-purpose or hard-to-digest whole wheat, try sprouted flour. You can make homemade sprouted wheat flour yourself or buy my favorite brand of sprouted flour.
