Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup brown rice flour
- 1/2 cup corn starch
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup oil
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 12 muffin cups with liners or lightly grease them.
- Make a pumpkin puree and let it cool (this step is in case you don't use canned pumpkin puree). Roast the pumpkin in the oven to release the water.
- Whisk together brown rice flour, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and spices in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat the oil with the sugar. Add the pumpkin puree and mix. Add the eggs one by one, beating after each addition.
- Add the dry ingredients along with the milk, and mix until well incorporated. Add 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips and mix until just combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pans. Fill the muffin cups ¾ full, dividing the mixture as evenly as possible. Topped with the remaining chocolate chips.
- Bake for 25 minutes. To know if it's ready, insert a toothpick into the center of the muffin; it should come out clean, with no streaks of batter.
- Let cool before removing.
Notes
Store the muffins in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
