P.S. This recipe was not a planned share. Jess and I have our editorial calendar planned months in advance, but I couldn’t resist sharing this recipe with you as a bonus post for the week. Especially after I saw the gorgeous photos that were taken by Jess of Plays Well with Butter who helps us with about 50% of recipe photos. Girl’s got skills!
Soft, fluffy and made with less sugar, these Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are calling your name!
I know you’re going to love this recipe. It’s very similar to our Gluten-Free Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, which have become a reader favorite. In fact, this recipe was created when I wanted to make the banana muffins during a meal prep a couple weekends ago, but didn’t have any ripe bananas on hand so I grabbed my lonely can of pumpkin instead. Some of my best recipes are created on a whim and purely by accident, and I love when that happens. These Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are soft, tender, fluffy and studded to perfection with chocolate chips and pecans. They’re incredibly easy to make and perfect for weekend meal preps, adding to lunchboxes, breakfast on the go, afternoon snacking, serving at a party or gift giving to a new parent or heck, anyone who could use a little pick-me-up! You’ll also appreciate that they’re made with less sugar yet you’ll never know. They’re just so darn good!
Freezer-friendly, too.
You bet my freezer has a nice stash of these Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins (along with our Gluten-Free Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins and Grain-Free Sweet Potato Banana Muffins). I’m slowly building up a good freezer supply of my favorite foods for when baby arrives in October. I can’t believe my due date is only about month away. Certainly excited, but of course a little nervous, too! If you’re looking to stash some of these muffins away in your freezer for future enjoyment or maybe you have guest coming to visit soon, I definitely recommend doubling this recipe. You can never have too many muffins on hand in my opinion.
Are you ready to whip up a batch of these Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins?
Yes, me too! And while you’re at it, you could spread the joy by brewing up a pot of coffee and inviting a friend over for good company and conversations AND the most delicious pumpkin muffins! I hope this recipe brings you so much joy! If you give it a try, we’d love to hear what you think in the comments below. *For a nut-free option, simply omit the pecans. Pin now to make later!
