Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Long time, no talk! I can't even begin to say how busy I have been these last few weeks, so we're just not even going to bother with that! Anyways, these muffins are delicious. A perfect treat for Canadian Thanksgiving (today). These are super easy to make, and do not have that awful metal pumpkin aftertaste. With just a hint of pumpkin, these will please even the pumpkin haters. And of course for the chocolate lovers... Chocolate chips! Myself, I am a pumpkin lover and a chocolate lover, so pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are ideal for me! Now, I'm sure you're probably wondering where the recipe is, so, I will share it...

Ingredients
2 cups oats
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup coconut sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup applesauce 
3 tbsp coconut oil
1 dropper vanilla liquid stevia
1/2 cup pumpkin 
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients. In a smaller, separate bowl, combine all wet ingredients. Pour the wet into the dry to combine. Stir in the chocolate chips. Do not over-mix, or you will end up with gummy, dense muffins. Once combined, disperse batter evenly amongst 12 greased or lined muffin cups. Place the tin in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes before eating. Lastly, enjoy!

Question of the day: Do you like pumpkin pie?
I know some people absolutely hate it, but personally, I absolutely love it! I look forward to pumpkin pie every Thanksgiving. The yummy, cheesecakey texture and delicious pumpkiny taste. Incredible!

That's all for today! Hope you enjoy these muffins if you try them out. Happy Thanksgiving to all of us Canadians. I plan on stuffing my face plate with pumpkin pie :)
