Ingredients

1 cup flour
1 cup almond flour
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup maple syrup
½ cup applesauce
¼ cup butter melted
2 cups pumpkin puree
¼ cup water
2 eggs
½ cup chocolate chips plus more for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°.
Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and whisk together.
Add all other ingredients and mix until combined.
Portion the batter into 18 lined muffin cups, filled almost full. Add a few extra chocolate chips to the top of each muffin.
Bake at 375° for about 25 minutes. Ovens can vary, check after 20 to 22 minutes.
Serve with a great deal of butter!

Notes

Do not open your oven door to peek at the muffins until they have baked for at least 20 minutes. This could cause them to sink as they are trying to rise. All ovens vary, test for doneness at 22 minutes.
Pumpkin puree can be homemade or a store-bought 15 ounce can. You could also use butternut squash or any winter squash puree for a healthy variation.
