Vegan Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins Filed under ( Breakfast, Dessert, Frank, Vegan, vegetarian )

I can’t get enough pumpkin right now, how about you? I wanted to bake up a treat for some special friends and knew it had to contain pumpkin. I hit up my usual pumpkin muffin recipe and changed it slightly to make it a bit more indulgent.

Vegan Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins

Wet ingredients-

• 1 cup plain canned pumpkin

• 3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 cup vegan chocolate or carob chips (I used minis)
