Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins {THM-S, Low Carb, Sugar Free}

Pumpkin chocolate chip – perfection! Sweet pumpkin muffins studded with chocolate chips.

The first of September I posted a Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffin in a Mug. That recipe has been crazy popular – easily one of my most popular posts. I have repeatedly had requests for a larger muffin recipe that could be baked in the oven. And I’m right there with my readers – I know how handy it is to have snacks/breakfasts/desserts already made and ready to go. It just makes life so much simpler!

Pumpkin Chocolate Muffin in a Mug (THM-S, Low Carb, Sugar Free)

These pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are easy to make – the hardest part is waiting for them to bake! And you only have to use one bowl! I love one-bowl recipes. That makes for easier clean up!

And oh, the smells that come wafting out of the oven – so warm and comforting! As a bonus, these pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are an “S” on the Trim Healthy Mama program, so you can slather them with “buttah” as much as you want!

If you are unsure of what THM stands for, it stands for Trim Healthy Mama, a sensible way of eating that is helping thousands of mamas (and papas) lose weight and regain health (all while eating delicious food)! No deprivation here! You can find out more about this awesome lifestyle here.

So what do you need for these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins?

3/4 Teaspoon Aluminum Free Baking Powder

1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1 1/2 Teaspoons Cinnamon

1/4 Cup + 2 Tablespoons Xylitol

        I’m sorry, I do not have a net carb count. On THM, I don’t count macros, but I am working on getting a nutritional calculator on my site soon!

      I have not tested these with Baking Blend, but Baking Blend is more “thirsty” than almond flour, so you would either want to use less of it or add more liquid. If you try it, please let me know how it turns out!

      I’m sorry, but I have not personally tried it with coconut flour – coconut flour is much more “thirsty” than almond flour, so I’m not sure what the substitution ratio would be.

    I don’t have xylitol. I have Pyure Baking Blend which is erythritol & stevia. I also have pure stevia. Any suggestions, or should I just wait until I buy xylitol? Thanks

      October 15, 2016 at 8:25 pm

      I would use half the amount of using Pyure.

    I only have Erythritol, because of the dog poison issue with Xylitol. Can I use 1 for 1 in this recipe?

      Yes, according to the chart linked below, you should be able to sub 1 for 1. Here is the sweetener conversion chart, which you may find helpful. http://pin.it/_HFBW7h

    Is the 2 Tbsp of coconut oil to be added in the wet ingredients or it that used to spray the pan?

      It should be added to the wet ingredients. 🙂

    For anyone looking into information on nutrition for this recipe, I can maybe help!
    We used granulated splenda as the sweetener instead (because we’re having difficulty finding this other stuff and totally welcome a recommendation), and our batch only made 8 (using 1/4 cup of batter each), not 9, but for each of the eight, my calculations came out to:

    197 Calories, 17g of fat (didn’t split it out on type), 11 total carbs, 5 fiber carbs, 2 sugar alcohol carbs (so 4 net carbs), 5g protein, and 91mg of sodium.
    With a less carby sweetener (granular splenda has about 1.5 per tablespoon), I believe you’re looking at 3 net carbs instead.

    Hope this helps!

    Tried to make the muffins not sure if its because I did a chia seed substitute but they didn’t rise at all…. Any suggestions on what could be wrong and how to avoid the issue in the future

    So I strongly dislike chocolate. Ok, I hate chocolate!! I know, I’m weird. I can just leave out the chocolate chips but do I need something to fill in so my muffins will be large enough. Of should I just make 7-8? Thanks for understanding.

      No need to add anything else in to take its place – though you could add some chopped nuts if you wanted! And no judgement here – that just leaves more chocolate for me! 🙂

    I tried to make these tonight. I doubled the recipe, and did 1/2 almond flour and 1/2 coconut floor. The batter was VERRRYYYY dry and crumbly. Not muffin-like batter at all. Suggestions???? I even added more coconut oil to try to offset dryness. ?? On a positive note, the batter was delicious!

      Hi Michele! Coconut flour is one of the most absorbent low-carb flours. In other words, it is very “thirsty.” I don’t recommend trying to replace with coconut flour in equal amounts. 🙂 If you would like to replace some of the almond flour with coconut flour, you need to add a good deal more liquid (perhaps water or almond milk) and eggs, and decrease the amount of flour. Hope that helps!
