- 2 1/2 cups Almond Flour (8.5oz)

- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 3/4 cup Pumpkin Puree (ripe)
- 3 Eggs (large, at room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Oil (I used avocado oil)
- 1/2 cup Maple syrup (or agave syrup)
- 1/3 cup Chocolate chips (I used dark, optional)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-count muffin pan with liners.
- In a bowl, add the dry ingredients - Almond flour, pumpkin spice, salt and baking soda. Mix well.
- In another large bowl, add pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, vanilla, and maple syrup. Stir until the ingredients are combined and fluffy.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until they are combined. Do not overmix.
- Add half of the chocolate chips and fold them in the batter gently.
- Spoon the batter evenly into each liner on the muffin pan. Top each muffin with a few chocolate chips.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20-22 minutes. Use a toothpick to test whether the center of the muffins is done.
- Remove from muffin pan and let the muffins cool completely on a wire rack, and enjoy! Store muffins in an airtight container.
