Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins

I had a really hard time naming this recipe for Healthy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins because there are so many elements that make them unique. First, these chocolate muffins are gluten-free, grain-free and dairy-free. I'm calling them muffins because they're baked in a muffin tin with cupcake liners, but they are more like brownies in texture.

If you prefer, you could put the mixture in a brownie pan or cute little bundt cake molds — but I really love the individual-sized portions you get when you make them into muffins (and the liners really help for serving).

These Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins are made with avocado, which is a healthy and delicious fat source that tastes incredible in baked goods. You have to trust me on this one if you haven't used avocado in your desserts! And, with the addition of chocolate chips, you could also call these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins.

I guess the moral of this intro is that it doesn't matter what you call this chocolate pumpkin muffin recipe, the end result will be ridiculously delicious!
