INGREDIENTS:

● 2 eggs, room temperature

● ¼ cup milk, room temperature

● 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree

● ½ cup pure maple syrup

● ¼ cup refined coconut oil, melted and cooled

● 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

● 1 cup Bakery On Main Rolled Oats (see step 2)

● 1 cup gluten free 1:1 flour

● 1 teaspoon baking soda

● ½ teaspoon baking powder

● ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

● 1 ¼ teaspoons cinnamon

● 1 ¼ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

● ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus 2 tablespoons for tops of

muffins

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners, set
aside.
2. Place one cup of rolled oats into a blender and blend until smooth and
resembles flour. After blending, measure out ¾ cup oat flour. Store any
remaining oat flour in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together ¾ cup oat flour, gluten free flour, baking
soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
4. In a separate large bowl, mix together eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, maple
syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in ½
cup chocolate chips.
6. Divide batter evenly between muffin liners. Sprinkle the top of each muffin
with a few chocolate chips. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean or with just a few
crumbs attached. Let muffins cool in pan for 5 minutes, then remove and
place on a wire rack to cool completely.
