I’m heading home for fall break in a week and a bit, and I’ve already started planning all the things I’m going to cook and bake, and which of my favorite restaurants I want to hit up.
And even though I made these muffins 3 times in one week and basically ate the entire batch, I’m still going to make sure these muffins are the first thing I stick in the oven next weekend.
Why? Because these muffins are moist, sweet, spicy, pumpkin-y, and best of all, studded with melty chocolate.
I’m drooling. Can I be home, like, now?
These muffins are so easy to make (dangerously easy) and don’t make 523095183 muffins that you end up giving to anyone who will take them. One-bowl, small-batch, vegan, and gluten-free, these flourless muffins are packed with flavor for very little effort.
Pro tip? Sprinkle these babies with extra chocolate chips right out of the oven. The gooey chocolate-y topping really takes these muffins to the next level. Enjoy!
- ¾ cup pumpkin purée
- 1 cup almond butter
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp egg replacer + 2 tbsp water (= 1 egg)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp allspice
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ⅔ cup mini vegan chocolate chips + more for topping
- Preheat oven to 325 F and grease a muffin tin.
- Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips with a whisk until smooth and well mixed.
- Fold in chocolate chips with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
- Divide batter equally among 9 muffin tins and bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Top with additional chocolate chips, if desired. Let muffins cool before removing from tin and serving.

One bowl muffins?! Sign me up! These sound delicious, Medha! Love how easy these are to whip up!
Medha says
Thanks!
Eve @ Baking the Day says
These muffins look delightful, the chocolate and pumpkin combo sounds heavenly! Just one quick question, which brand of almond butter do you buy? Just asking because these muffins contain a lot of it so I don’t want to use the wrong type!x
Medha says
I generally use creamy unsalted and occasionally raw almond butter! I’ve made them a couple different times using different almond butters and they turn out great no matter what!
Julia says
Oh my gah, we must be two birds of a feather…I’ve made LITRALLY 4 batches of GF pumpkin chocolate chip muffins over the last month and yet am still ready for more. So good! SO melty! So full of fall flavah!
Medha says
They’re so pumpkin-y, am I right?
Mir says
Muffins are totally the best. I’m staring at a batch on my desk right now that I’m giving out, just so I don’t eat them all myself!
And these look perfect. Love the melty chocolate on top!

“Dangerously easy” LOL. I know what you mean. I have a recipe for chocolate chip cookies that’s like that. Pumpkin, chocolate, and muffins. All amongst my favorite things to nibble. Is there anything that isn’t made even better with the addition of chocolate chips? Probably not. 🙂
Just found your blog, looking forward to reading more of it. Thanks for sharing! Peace. 🙂
Medha says
Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

Kristine says
Hi! just found this and want so much to make tonight but don’t have ginger or allspice. Could I leave out or sub anything else? Thanks!!
Medha says
If you have pumpkin pie spice, that’ll work, or just leave it out! Also a fan of similar, warming spices, like nutmeg 🙂
