Mini Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

The first few weeks of a new school year can be an adjustment, especially with earlier wake-up times for everyone.

I find that a special treat is one way to ease the transition and make mornings a little brighter. These pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are a perfect grab-and-go breakfast or lunchbox snack (for both kids and grown-ups!)

These healthy pumpkin chocolate chip muffins taste unbelievably rich and decadent — AND they actually pack quite the nutritional punch. Our mini pumpkin muffins are a good source of fiber and protein, gluten free, and made with real pumpkin — a true superfood!

Is Canned Pumpkin Healthy?

We often think that canned foods aren’t as good for us, but believe it or not, canned pumpkin provides a lot of nutritional value!

A can of 100% pumpkin has:

  • over 10 grams dietary fiber
  • 3 grams protein
  • more than 100% daily value of Vitamin A
  • plus many more vitamins and minerals

(This is all listed on the back of the can we used, plus you can read more about pumpkin’s nutritional benefits here).

Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins Ingredients

For your convenience in creating our healthy pumpkin chocolate chip muffins recipe, we’ve included shop-able ad links to some of the products we used. Disclosure policy is available here.

  • 3/4 cup rice flour*
  • 1/2 cup almond flour*
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Healthy Baking Tips:

  • Want More Whole Grains? Use brown rice flour instead of white rice flour in this pumpkin muffins recipe. 1 cup of brown rice flour provides 7g of dietary fiber (source). You can also use gluten free baking flour in place of the almond flour and rice flour if that is what you have on hand.
  • Reduced Sugar Option — Instead of 1 cup brown sugar, reduce amount to 1/2 cup brown sugar OR substitute 1 cup coconut sugar, which is lower glycemic and may promote gut health too.

    Wow, that’s right up my alley. Pumpkin muffins have been my greatest love for as long as I can remember. I made them soooo many times for my family. Once I tried them, it really was an obsession. They turn out so moist and delicious. I’m always sneaking into the kitchen to get more. Could anything be better for chilly fall mornings? Well… maybe some other pumpkin desserts. To be honest, I’ve never even thought of making these muffins with chocolate. Now I’m amazed and so inspired. Can’t wait to give it a try. Thank you for sharing it Stacey!
