Two healthy pumpkin chocolate chip muffin recipes 

Healthier variations on the classic chocolate pumpkin muffins recipe are here. Even without any tweaks to this recipe, there is already plenty of pumpkin in these muffins, which means that as well as being delicious, they're nutritious and filled with vitamins.  

Read below for how to create gluten-free pumpkin chocolate chip muffins and vegan pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. 

Trying to cut down on sugar? You can always decrease the amount in this recipe. We recommend using 1 ½ cups of brown sugar and supplementing the rest with 2 tablespoons of organic maple syrup. It will still give the muffins plenty of sweetness and help keep the sugar levels low.  

 

Gluten free pumpkin chocolate chip muffins 

If you're looking for a gluten-free treat, you can use our Venchi recipe with one easy tweak. All that's needed is to swap out the white flour in the recipe with gluten-free flour. Don’t forget that Venchi chocolate is gluten-free: you'll still create fluffy pumpkin chocolate chip muffins that are also gluten friendly. 

The pumpkin in this recipe is full of moisture and pairs perfectly with gluten-free flour, ensuring the muffins are not overly dense. To give them some crunch, you can add ½ cup of pecans to the batter.  

 

Vegan pumpkin chocolate chip muffins 

For those on a health kick, vegan pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are easy and delicious. Luckily, Venchi's dark chocolate is naturally vegan, so you can keep it in the recipe.  

 

The only change you'll have to make to the recipe is the eggs. To make the muffins vegan-friendly: 

  1. Swap out the 2 eggs for 2 chia eggs. You can make chia eggs by putting 1 tablespoon of white chia seeds in a bowl. 

  1. Stir in 1 tablespoon of warm water. 

  1. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes to let the chia seeds form a gel-like consistency similar to an egg. 

  1. Times the quantities by 2 to make enough for the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.
