Chocolatey, lightly sweetened, and full of fall flavor. These Double Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Spice Muffins are a must try, any time of year.
Double Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Spice Muffins: all the flavors of fall with a chocolate twist
Low carb pumpkin recipes are all the rage as soon as fall hits. I am a huge fan of fall in the Pacific Northwest and everything that comes with it. Long sleeved cozy shirts, fireplaces, low carb pumpkin spice lattes, keto slow cooker recipes and lots of snuggles with my pups.
Low carb baking is generally outside of my wheelhouse. It is not something I do often. I think it is because I typically gravitate towards the savory in my own personal cravings. I would take something salty and crunchy over something sweet any day. However, once in a while I throw some things around in the kitchen and whip up a delicious low carb and gluten free sweet treat.
Variations on this gluten free muffin recipe
I often get emails and comments asking about various substitutions for my recipes. Usually when I post a recipe, that is the only way I have tried it. It makes speaking to substitutions difficult. I would hate for you to waste your ingredients. However, with this recipe, you could easily substitute the heavy cream with almond milk or coconut milk. You could also substitute the peanut butter with almond or cashew butter. You can substitute the butter with ghee, coconut oil or avocado oil. Happy cooking! Enjoy!

Kyndra,
Thank you so much for this recipe! My whole family loves these muffins. I used 1/3c Pyure instead of the sweeteners mentioned, and it was delicious with crunchy Smuckers Natural Peanut Butter!

Love these muffins!!!! I have made them twice for work and people go crazy for them!! They are so moist! I even left out the liquid stevia because I didn’t have any, but they still were delicious and not too sweet. I am looking forward to trying them again with the liquid stevia to see what a difference it makes, and which version I prefer!! Thank you so much for the awesome recipes!!
