Ingredients

Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend (or sub with 3 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend)

  • 2 tsp Cinnamon ground
  • 1/2 tsp Ginger ground
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg ground
  • 1/4 tsp Cloves  ground

Muffins

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour plus 2 tbsp
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Baking soda 
  • 1 cup Light brown sugar packed, divided 
  • 1 cup Pumpkin puree 
  • ½ cup Oat milk plus 2 tbsp
  • 6 tbsp Neutral oil 
  • ½ tsp Salt 
  • 3 tbsp Cocoa powder 

Instructions

  • Add all the Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend spices into a small jar and stir or shake until combined.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F/175 C. Line ½ cup/120ml muffin tin with liners or grease well 
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir to evenly distribute. 
  • In a medium bowl combine the cocoa powder, 2 tbsp/30ml oat milk, and 1 tbsp/13g brown sugar. Whisk to form a paste. Set aside. 
  • In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, oil, and remaining brown sugar. Whisk until smooth. 
  • Add ½ cup/120ml oat milk and whisk. 
  • Add the flour blend and stir until mostly smooth. A few lumps may remain. 
  • Divide 1/3 of batter into the bowl with the chocolate paste. Stir until mixtures are well incorporated. 
  • Fill the muffin cups, alternating the batters. Start with the plain pumpkin mixture and then a dollop of the chocolate, then more pumpkin. Repeat until batter is used up and liners are filled. Swirl a knife or skewer through the mixtures to create more a blending. 
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean. 
  • Allow to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before serving. Best the same day. Can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Can be frozen up to 1 month. Bring to room temperature before serving.
