If you’ve made any of my recipes before, you know that one of my go-to mom tricks is to hide as many vegetables in my kids’ food as I can. From chickpea cake to zucchini bread to magic sauce, my kids are huge fans of vegetables and don’t even know it! I loved the pumpkin doughnut muffins so much that I decided to add even more chocolate to them—how could it go wrong? The resulting muffins are perfectly light and moist with studs of melted chocolate nestled in, making it a delicious mid-day snack for my kids or for me.

Cook Mode

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips, divided

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line or grease a muffin pan. Add the pumpkin, eggs, sugar, olive oil, vanilla, and maple syrup to a blender. Pulse until smooth.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Pour the batter from the blender into the bowl with the dry ingredients while whisking. Whisk them together until smooth and no streaks remain.
Fold in ½ cup chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin pan and top with the remaining chocolate chips.
Bake for 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the muffins comes out clean. Enjoy for breakfast or dessert!
