Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined and smooth.

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until evenly mixed.

1. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix the batter.

1. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

1. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.

1. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

1. Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

1. Serve: Enjoy your healthy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins warm or at room temperature!
