When trying to decide what fall recipe to start out with, I decided on this scrumptious pumpkin chocolate chip oat muffins recipe. Can’t go wrong with a muffin recipe, can ya?
And though there are already so many on Google already, I still wanted to get this recipe out there. Why? Well, I guess it’s because my recipe is uniquely mine in relation to all of the other ones out there.

And I want to share it with other people, so that they can enjoy it as much as I do. It’s not much fun in not sharing, you know? A blessing lies in knowing others are getting a joy out of what you decide to share with them.

What Makes These Muffins So Unique?
I believe that what makes these muffins so unique, is that they’re so delicious with the perfect moist and fluffy texture. And this is achieved without a lot of unhealthy amount of oil and sugar.
When I create my recipes, I add just enough fats (oil/butter) and sugar to make it taste very appetizing and appealing. Therefore you get a super tasty baked good that’s not detrimental to your health at the same time.
Why add a cup of oil or sugar when you can get away with using a lot less? And your cakes, muffins, etc. will still taste just as delicious. Believe it!
How To Make These Muffins (So Easy)
You basically only need a large mixing bowl, a measuring cup + spoons and a large stirring utensil to make these amazing muffins.
You’re going to add and combine all the dry ingredients such as the flour and spices in the bowl first. After that, all you are going to do is add in the wet ingredients, including the pumpkin purée.
After combining everything together, you will divide the batter between 10 muffin cups or liners. You can then sprinkle a few more chocolate chips on top before baking, if you wish. That’s it!
