Happy fall, y’all! It took its sweet time getting to us, but Thanksgiving is around the corner and this beautiful season is in full swing. I don’t know about you, but this mama is embracing the cooler weather, a hint of the holidays in the air, and my favorite…all things pumpkin. While there’s no substitute for the beauty of a pumpkin spice latte, there is one special treat that trumps any other goody in my house during this time of year – chocolate chip pumpkin muffins!
Here’s what you need to know about my family, though: baking for my crew can get tricky. Two of my kids have food allergies {including baking staples, eggs, and milk}, but that’s what makes this recipe so special. I discovered it several years ago in an allergy-friendly cookbook called The Divvies Bakery Cookbook, and we’ve enjoyed and shared these muffins ever since. The beauty of this recipe is it doesn’t include any obscure allergy-safe ingredients that are hard to find in traditional stores. All you’ll see in this ingredient list is the absence of things that you won’t even miss. And, please mark my words: these are the BEST pumpkin muffins you will ever put into your mouth! There’s not a person I know who’s tried these and can believe that they are dairy, egg, nut and gluten-free.
But wait, there’s more…
This recipe makes two dozen muffins! Mamas, that is time well spent. Eat what you want now, and if there are any left (there may not be, just saying…), they freeze beautifully. Most importantly, this recipe is a cinch to make. You can use a hand or stand mixer, but it’s not necessary. All you really need are a whisk or spoon, a couple of mixing bowls and some muffin pans. It will take you just a few precious moments to whip up the batter and get ready for the oven.
