Ingredients

1 cup 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour (148 grams)
1 1/2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup + 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (170 grams)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup butter, slightly softened⁠ (56 grams)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
1/3 heaping cup mini chocolate chips (70 grams)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin pan with 10 nonstick paper muffin liners or reusable silicone liners.
Mix your dry ingredients. Add your flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
Mix your wet ingredients. In a separate medium-large mixing bowl, add your pumpkin puree, eggs, butter, maple syrup, and vanilla bean paste and mix well to combine. Add your dry mixture to your wet mixture and stir to combine. The batter should be pretty thick. Fold in the chocolate chips. I like to save 1-2 tablespoons worth to sprinkle on top of the muffins.
Bake. Using a cookie scoop, or about 2 1/2 tablespoons worth, distribute the batter between the 10 liners. Sprinkle the muffins with remaining chocolate chips. Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown on the top. You can check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. It should come out clean with a few moist crumbs. Let cool for a couple of minutes.
Enjoy!
