Gluten Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Gluten Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins on a platter ready to be served

There’s nothing better than a fluffy gluten free pumpkin muffin with gooey chocolate chips and all of the flavors of the fall and winter seasons! This recipe started as a pumpkin bread recipe and was such a favorite here on the blog (see the SCD version here!), that I included it in my Meals Made Simple cookbook (page 64). I decide that gluten free pumpkin chocolate chip muffins should be shared here on the blog!

We now make it as gluten free pumpkin chocolate chip muffins most of the time so I can freeze some to always have around for the kids. They rise so well, and are beautiful coming out of the oven. And of course, we have to add some chocolate chips to them at the boy's request!  Each boy looks for the muffin with the most chocolate chips and then devours it in the smallest amount of bites!
