Notes

Ingredient swaps and notes

  • Sugar: Can be swapped for any granulated sugar
  • Pumpkin purée: Can be swapped for sweet potato purée. I make my own pumpkin purée but canned will also be fine.
  • Oil: I use a mild olive oil, this can be substituted for melted butter.
  • Choc chips: For this recipe to be dairy-free you will need to choose a dairy-free chocolate chip, but if that's not a concern for you any choc chips will be fine!

How I make pumpkin purée

Peel the pumpkin and boil until tender, drain the pumpkin well leaving the pumpkin sitting in the hot pot for a few minutes so as much liquid evapourates as possible. Blend until smooth.

Storage

Once cool, store pumpkin muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
