Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, applesauce, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • These muffins freeze well. Store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
  • For gluten-free muffins, substitute a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the whole wheat flour.
  • You can adjust the spices to your preference.
  • For vegan muffins, use a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water, let sit for 5 minutes) instead of eggs and a non-dairy milk.
