Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin.
In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, and coconut oil until smooth. Stir in brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips gently to maintain airiness.
Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling them about ¾ full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
