Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins (Vegan)

QueenQT26's Note:

This is my own modification of a recipe from bhg.com. I made it vegan, and just a little healthier overall. It's called "double-flavored muffins" on that site.

• Total Time: 45 mins
• Prep Time: 25 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 18

• 1 2⁄3; cups whole wheat flour
• ½ cup turbinado sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 eggs (egg substitute equal to 2 eggs)
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• ½ cup applesauce
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate pieces (6 ounces) or 1 cup carob chips

Directions:

1. Grease eighteen 2-1/2-inch muffin cups or line the muffin cups with paper bake cups and set aside.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, baking powder, nutmeg, and cloves. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and set aside.
3. In another medium bowl, combine the eggs/egg sub, pumpkin, and applesauce.
4. Add the pumpkin mixture all at once to the flour mixture.
5. Stir until just moistened (batter should be lumpy). Fold in the chocolate pieces.
6. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each two-thirds full.
7. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into centers of the muffins comes out clean.
8. Don't overbake.
9. Remove from muffin cups; serve warm.
10. For Vegan do not use egg or egg based subs.

These came out great- fluffy, just the right amount of spice, and perfectly sweet. I added about 1/4 C chopped walnuts for texture. I used 1/4 cup Splenda blend brown sugar and omitted the white sugar. I only had one egg so I also added 1 T flax seed meal dissolved in 3 T water, and I also cut down on chocolate chips by using 1/3 C mini chips, which was the perfect amount for me. My new go to pumpkin muffin recipe!

These are really, really great. I used "regular" sugar, EnerG Egg replacer, and one cup real pumpkin puree (not the canned stuff). Because the batter was dry due to the pumpkin puree, I added a small amount of hemp milk. The result - delicious, nutritious, and a huge hit.

Oh man, this is DELICIOUS! Like veganzilla, I also used a 8x8 pan. I used sucanat instead of the turbinado sugar, and flax seed meal as the egg substitute. My friend who I fed it to couldn't believe it was made using whole wheat flour. I'll definitely be making this again!
