Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a muffin tin with paper muffin cups liners.

Step 2

Mix dry ingredients (flour, sugar, flaxseeds, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt) together in a large bowl with a whisk or a fork. Ensure that any lumps in the flour are broken up.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, pumpkin puree, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla together until well combined.

Step 4

Combine the wet and dry mixtures and stir with a rubber spatula until well mixed. Gently fold in chocolate chips, taking care to avoid over-mixing. Batter will be thicker than most muffin batters, but will be spoonable.

Step 5

Spoon batter into muffin cups until approximately ¾ full. Place muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, until tops are golden. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
