This Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffin recipe is easy to make and it is so yummy! Made with healthier ingredients, it is a fall treat that you can feel good about. I kept these muffins lower in carbs and used sugar free sweetener. You will love having these on hand for a quick breakfast or sweet treat throughout the week.

What You Need
- Almond Flour – this is a great option to make these lower carb and also gluten free
- Baking Soda
- Baking Powder
- Unflavored Protein Powder – I used my favorite Genepro protein, you could also use unflavored collagen powder
- Pumpkin Pie Spice – my favorite blend is from Primal Palate, I love all of their organic spices
- Cinnamon
- Pumpkin Puree – this is just plain pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling
- Vanilla Extract
- Sugar Free Granulated Sweetener – Swerve is my favorite brand and I have found it in all my local grocery stores and on Amazon
- Egg
- Coconut Oil
- Sugar Free Chocolate Chips – Lilys are my favorite sugar free chocolate chips, so good!
Recipe Notes
- You cannot replace the almond flour with another baking flour, they do not bake the same so I recommend sticking to the recipe
- I used unflavored protein powder to add a boost of protein to these, but you can leave it out or replace with unflavored collagen powder
- I mentioned this above but be sure to grab pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling

Healthy Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins
These Healthy Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins are so delicious but made with better-for-you ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 2 scoops Unflavored Protein Powder I use Genepro
- 2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Pumpkin Puree
- 1/2 cup Sugar Free Granulated Sweetener I use Swerve
- 1 Egg
- 2 Tbls Coconut Oil melted
- 1/2 cup Sugar Free Chocolate Chips I use Lilys
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line your muffin tin with muffin liners
- In a large bowl add your almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Use a whisk to combine the dry ingredients together
- In a separate bowl add the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, sweetener, egg, and melted coconut oil. Whisk together to fully combine
- Add the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the chocolate chips
- Fill the muffin liners with the mixture until mostly full. I like to use an ice cream scoop to make them rounded on the top, these muffins don't rise much on their own
- Bake for 20 minutes, a knife should come out clean Let cool completely and enjoy!

Love the idea of putting in collagen powder! Would that work in most baking recipes?
