Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line 12 muffin tins with liners and spray lightly with baking spray. Set pan aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the oat flour, baking stevia, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon until combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the eggs and the pumpkin until combined.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix - more stirring will result in dense muffins.
- Stir in chocolate chips, saving a few for sprinkling on top (if desired).
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin liners and top with remaining chocolate chips.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes on the center rack, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
