Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins Recipe
We eat so many muffins in our house. They are the perfect breakfast, sweet treat or afternoon snack and they are so much fun to make too. At this time of year there’s nothing better than a pumpkin muffin and these chocolate pumpkin muffins have the added benefit of chocolate chips! This has swiftly become one of our favourite pumpkin recipes.
Can you vary this recipe?
The children love these pumpkin chocolate chip muffins as a treat after school, for breakfast or as a snack. You can use whole wheat flour instead of plain for a more pumpkin bread consistency and leave out the chocolate chips for a more healthy pumpkin muffin. You could even use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil if you wanted.
These muffins keep well in an airtight container for a few days and freeze well too. Perfect for taking out for a healthy breakfast or as a home made sweet treat whenever you fancy one.

Mmm yum. I’ve never used pumpkin in a recipe before but it’s becoming quite popular now x
Ooh these sound lovely! We’ve got loads of pumpkin and I’ve done pumpkin curry and pumpkin pie already so I might just give this recipe a try next.
