I know what you are thinking in your mind right now. Healthy pumpkin muffins? Apple sauce? Whole wheat? Rubbery? Chewy? Bland??? Blah!

Pumpkin applesauce muffins: Texture

Oh and these aren’t any ordinary fluffy pumpkin muffins!

They are exploding with warm pumpkin spices, melty chocolate chips, toasty pepitas and a tender crumb on top. I am literally drooling on my keyboard as I type this! Gross!!!

Ample of pumpkin flavor and a ton of texture is what our muffins are over-flowing with!

Under that crumb, you will find a pumpkin muffin that isn’t very innocent!

Filled with (just enough) dark melty chocolate chunks, hearty pumpkin flavor, light texture and buttery crumbs, you can never guess they contain whole grains or applesauce. Promise!

I took care to add just enough chocolate so it doesn’t steal all the spotlight. We want the pumpkin and pumpkin spice flavors to shine through. But chocolate for brekky? I got you covered!

Pumpkin spice brown sugar chocolate chunk streusel it is. Simply topped with more chocolate chips! 😉
