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!
Thanks!
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
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!
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!
They’re so pumpkin-y, am I right?
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!
Thanks, Mir!
Yes, totally drooling!! These look fantastic, girlfriend! LOVE how moist they look! And ONE BOWL only to obtain these babies? YES! Pinned! Cheers! P.S- Hope you have SO much fun on your trip home!! 😉
Thank you for the pin 🙂
OH mY GOODness! Medha! These muffins are divine and I’m totally craving them now! Chocolate and pumpkin? A favorite Fall thing around here and I love the idea of sprinkling more chocolate on top right out of the oven to make them extra gooey! Yessss!! Have a fantastic trip and enjoy your time off! 😀
Thanks so much!

I just made a batch of double chocolate muffins with mini choc chips and I’d happily eat a few of yours right here. They look so very utterly moist and delicious. The almond butter sounds sooo good here! Don’t you just love a simple 1-bowl muffin recipe?!
Thanks 🙂
These look too delicious and the fact that you can whip them up in just one bowl seals the deal!
Right?!
oh these muffins look absolutely fantastic Medha! enjoy your break! xoxo
Thank you!

These look MELT IN YOUR MOUTH good!
They are!
I am drooling too! I adore the combo of pumpkin and chocolate – especially in muffin form!
Thanks, Shashi!
If I use egg how do I store them?
In a tupperware or other sealed container on the kitchen counter should be fine!
I love the combination of pumpkin and chocolate and put that with the fact that you only use one bowl and these muffins make me very happy!! 🙂
Thanks!
Wow, these look too good to be true! I can’t believe they’re vegan and GF. I’d be ready to head home for these too!!
Thanks, Sarah!
YES, pumpkin and chocolate chips are the perfect combination! And these look so soft and fabulous!
They totally are!
I LOVE pumpkin and chocolate together! These muffins sound awesome!!
Me too! Thanks 🙂
Love your photos. Where is home?!
Outside of DC!
Beautiful pictures! These look heavenly, and I want one right about now! 🙂
Thanks!
So simple, but they look amazing! I will definitely try this on the weekend. Yum!
LMK how it goes!
“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. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Oh man, crushing so hard for these! I want them noooooooow!!
They can be yours!!! 30 minutes, girl 🙂
I can’t wait to try these! I was looking for some good gluten free pumpkin muffins earlier this week and these look perfect. I love that they can be made in only one bowl too!
LMK if you make them!!
Umm, these look amazing!! So much pumpkiny goodness!
Thanks!
How clever and awesome is this recipe? Love the minimal cleanup, too! 🙂
Thanks!
Love an easy one bowl recipe! There’s no better combo for fall than pumpkin and chocolate! 🙂
Thank you 🙂
One bowl means less dishes and I am totally into that! I’m also totally into these pumpkin chocolate chip muffins! I’ve been living off pumpkin muffins lately 🙂
Thanks, Izzy!
I finally (*finally!!*) broke out the pumpkin today, and I am loving the looks of these muffins! Especially that melty chocolate on top…yum!
Congrats- pumpkin is the best!
Gorgeous photos, Medha — these muffins are so photogenic! 🙂 I need to try these — I love the pumpkin chocolate chip combination!
Thanks, Marcie!
Have a wonderful time at home, Medha! Love these pumpkin muffins! One bowl and gluten free too? Sign me up please!
🙂
I think I could take care of an entire batch of these muffins too! The look so good. Nothing like pumpkin and chocolate together.
Thanks!
Love small batches of muffins. Also, one bowl? I am sold! This looks delicious!
Small batch is the best 🙂
i always count down the days until i go home for breaks because that’s when i can make tons of recipes! last week i went home and made 5 recipes in 2 days! These muffins are gonna be pinned bc i need to make them! yum 🙂
Thanks for the pin! 🙂
These pumpkin muffins look amazing, Medha! I would totally eat the entire batch of these! Love all the gooey chocolate chips! 🙂
Thanks!
These look fantastic!
Thank you!
The sprinkle of chocolate chips at the end is genius — every muffin can use a little extra chocolate, right?! These look beyond delish!
Thank you 🙂
Yum! I love muffins and that addition of the pumpkin and almond butter just makes these all that much better! Oh, and a little bit of chocolate never hurt a recipe ;D These look great, Medha! Thanks for sharing! 😀
Thank you!
Oh man Medha these look amazing!! I hope you have a wonderful time at home! 🙂 I’m seriously drooling over those. Yum!!
Thank you!
These look amazing! I saw them and literally fell in love with them- pumpkin plus chocolate my two favorite foods! I am making them this weekend because we are having a lot of guest over… I am so excited! Also, LOVE how they are made in one bowl…genius!
Thanks so much! LMK how you like them 🙂
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!!
If you have pumpkin pie spice, that’ll work, or just leave it out! Also a fan of similar, warming spices, like nutmeg 🙂
