WHY THESE ARE THE BEST GLUTEN FREE PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

  1. They are moist and tender: The combination of pumpkin puree and olive oil helps to keep these muffins moist and tender. The texture is light and fluffy, without being too dense or heavy.

  2. They are packed with flavor: The blend of pumpkin spice adds warmth and comfort to these muffins, and the use of the sweetener or coconut sugar adds a subtle caramel flavor that complements the pumpkin perfectly.

  3. They are easy to make: This recipe is simple and straightforward, requiring only basic pantry staples and a few simple steps. The batter comes together quickly, and the muffins bake up in just 20 minutes.

  4. They are versatile: These muffins are perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a cup of coffee or tea.

  5. They are gluten-free: For those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, finding delicious and satisfying baked goods can be a challenge. These muffins are a great option for those following a gluten-free diet, without sacrificing flavor or texture.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE GLUTEN FREE PUMPKIN MUFFINS

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the bakery style muffin (the exact measurements and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post):

  • Olive oil
  • Golden Lakanto sweetner – can also use coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • Large eggs – I have not tested this recipe with an egg substitute.
  • Pure pumpkin puree – do not mistake this for pumpkin pie filling, they are not the same.
  • Vanilla extract
  • Gluten-free flour blend – I used 1:1 Bob’s Red Mill, as long as your flour contains xanthan gum it should work fine. The only other gluten-free flours that may work are almond flour, oat flour or cassava flour. 
  • Baking soda
  • Cinnamon
  • Pumpkin pie spice
  • Salt
  • Chocolate chips

  3. In a separate mixing bowl combine the gluten free flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt.

  5. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop muffin batter into muffin tins and bake for 20-25 minutes.

STORING THE HEALTHY PUMPKIN MUFFINS

  1. Store at room temperature: Gluten-free pumpkin muffins can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days. For best results, make sure the container is tightly sealed to keep the muffins from drying out.

  2. Freeze for later: If you don’t plan on eating all of the muffins within three days, they can be frozen for later. Allow the muffins to cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. To thaw, remove them from the freezer and let them come to room temperature before enjoying.

  3. Avoid storing in the fridge: Storing gluten-free muffins in the fridge can cause them to dry out and become stale more quickly. It’s best to keep them at room temperature.

  4. Consider adding a slice of bread: If you’re storing your muffins at room temperature and want to keep them fresh for a bit longer, you can add a slice of bread to the container. The bread will absorb any excess moisture and help to keep the muffins moist.

FAQS

Can you freeze pumpkin muffins?

Yes, these can go in the freezer – just store them in a ziploc freezer bag. They will stay fresh for about 2 months!

Can these gluten-free muffins be made with all-purpose Flour?

Yes absolutely, they may even yield a more fluffy muffin! The only reason I don’t bake with all-purpose flour very often is because I am gluten intolerant. 

This recipe has not been tested with other gluten free flours, if you do please let me know in the comments!

I would not recommend using coconut flour though as it absorbs liquid so much more! This will result in a very dry muffin.

Can you make pumpkin muffins with fresh pumpkin?

I have not tested this recipe with fresh pumpkin! If you try it out please let me know in the comments how it worked out for you!

Overall, these gluten-free pumpkin muffins are the perfect fall treat. They are easy to make, packed with flavor, and can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of dietary restrictions. 

So go ahead, whip up a batch, and savor the flavors of the season!
