Keto Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins

I made these the other day and they were gone in a matter of hours.  Now, I do have a houseful of teens, but still!

So I made another batch when they were at school the next day simply so they would last a bit longer!  That ended when they got home from school.

But, seriously, I love making keto treats that my kids love. 

I originally set out to make chocolate chip muffins.  When I was writing down what I thought the recipe should be and deciding about flours and sweeteners, it just hit me - USE PUMPKIN.

And so I did!

I happen to love pumpkin.  If you do as well, make sure to check out my other pumpkins recipes:

What's So Great About Pumpkin

Aside from the AMAZING flavor of pumpkin - what is so great about it?

Well, according to HealthLine, Pumpkins have the following benefits:

1. Incredibly nutritious with high beta carotene

2. High antioxidant content - this can aid in reducing the risk of cancer and chronic disease

3. High in vitamins that can boost immunity - specifically vitamin A and vitamin C

4. Great for eyesight (Vitamin A, Lutein, and Zeaxanthin)

5. Low Calorie AND nutrient dense - could promote weight loss

6. Heart health benefits from Vitamin C and fiber

7. Healthy skin 

I mean, do you need any more benefits from that?  That is enough to make me eat something that tasted terrible, let along something that tastes as amazing as pumpkin!

Sweeteners

I chose to use erythritol and liquid stevia for these keto chocolate chip pumpkin muffins! 

I tend to not use either of these two alone, although you will find some recipes where I do!  When you use them together, they just blend incredibly well and remove any aftertaste that might occur when used alone. 

You could also substitute Lakanto Monkfruit if you like that better!

AND, of course,  this recipe is loaded with flavors that naturally act as sweeteners.  We have both pumpkin AND chocolate chips.  These naturally sweeten the flavor of almost any recipe.

Kitchen Essentials

Muffin Liners - I like the basic, unbleached muffin liners.  Back to basics here!

Muffin Tins - I have tried to NOT use muffin tins and simply fill up the liners.  Nope.  Epic fail.  You need to use the tin!

Mixing Bowls - I love the glass Pyrex mixing bowls!

Silicone Spatula - I do most of my mixing with spatulas.  I find that using hand beaters can OVER mix the dough a lot.  

There are some recipes that need beaters, but most you can simply use a spatula.  This allows you to fold the dough and blend it gently.
