Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (190g) white whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
- 0.5 tsp (3g) baking powder
- 1 tbsp (8g) pumpkin pie spice
- 0.25 tsp (1.5g) sea salt
- 1 cup (245g) canned pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup (120ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 large (50g) egg
- 3 tbsp (42g) melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (8g) turbinado sugar
- 0.25 cup (30g) mini chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease heavily with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt.
- In a separate larger bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is velvety and combined.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, stirring only until no streaks of flour remain.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the mini muffin tins, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar or mini chocolate chips.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
