Each Fall, I over-indulge in all things pumpkin. Come December, I really believe that I’m never going to eat anything pumpkin ever again.

But, after a long, cold winter and all of the light, fresh foods of Spring and Summer, I find myself 100% back in comfort food mode just in time for the season. Seriously, give me all of the Pumpkin Spice Lattes and sweet pumpkin-y treats.  All of them.

I’ve mentioned before that I was really late to the game when it came to pumpkin desserts. For whatever crazy reason, I really didn’t think I’d like pumpkin and so I was reluctant to try it until a couple of years ago. It was love at first bite, and bittersweet, as I realized exactly what I had been missing all those years! On the bright side, this left a lot of opportunity to create and share new pumpkin recipes!

I absolutely love Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, as these were my first tango with that delicious gourd! This year, I decided to take everything I love about those cookies (the pumpkin, chocolate, and moistness!) and create an equally delicious pumpkin spice muffin with loads of chocolate chips! I also threw some oats into the mix for added texture and heartiness.

I am happy to report that every single bite of these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins is bursting with an amazing combination of pumpkin spice and sweet chocolate in a moist, fluffy muffin!

These muffins are easy to make and freeze well too! They are the perfect Fall treat, but also great as a quick breakfast or snack while on-the-go!

For muffins, I like to line a basket or dish with a pretty napkin or towel and pile the muffins up high!

Enjoy!

    Hi Lauren, These muffins looks so good and can’t wait to try them. I do have a question, Is there anything I can use instead of the coconut oil? Thanks for any help you can give me. 🙂 Have a wonderful day.

    P.S. I rated these a 4 just because I have not made or tasted them yet.

      Hi Joann! You should be able to swap out the coconut oil for an equal amount of vegetable oil or room temperature butter. I have not made this particular recipe this way, but typically you can substitute equal amounts of different types of fats when baking 🙂

    I hear you! I love all things pumpkin and the combo of oatmeal, pumpkin and chocolate is my favorite. You have an amazing amount of chips in there. I approve! My motto is never skimp on chips.
