I can’t get enough pumpkin right now, how about you? I wanted to bake up a treat for some special friends and knew it had to contain pumpkin. I hit up my usual pumpkin muffin recipe and changed it slightly to make it a bit more indulgent.
Vegan Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins
Ingredients:
Wet ingredients-
- 1 cup plain canned pumpkin
- 1/3 cup water

- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup vegan chocolate or carob chips (I used minis)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350º
- Spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray and set aside
- Mix wet ingredients in one bowl, dry in another
- Combine wet & dry ingredients
- Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, distributing evenly

Ow yah.
How are your workouts coming this week? Mine are going well. Usual Body Pump, Step & Attack! I am also spending a lot of time learning the new choreography for our big Super Saturday release.
Alright, time for dinner and some Frank (hes looking out the window waiting for Josh to get home).

bow chicka bow wow between the chocolatey muffins and frank's puppy dog eyes, i loved this post! going to make those muffins for sure. i definitely CANNOT get enough pumpkin lately.
You know I love that we posted about pumpkin at the same time. You won't believe this. I almost made pumpkin chocolate chip muffins tonight, but went with the chili. Give cutie pie Frank a kiss for me. Can't wait for our date Friday!
I love canned pumpkin! So good for so many things. Are those DVDs you are releasing? Or learning from?
pumpkin and chocolate is ALMOST as good as pb and chocolate. i guess diff seasons call for diff pairings :)
Oh poor Frank...I think he needs a little girl friend :)!

I'm definitely drooling over those muffins! I'm eating pumpkin in my oatmeal just about every single day, hehehehehehehe!
Workouts are going great this week. The temps are down and my frisky toosh is out there, hittin' the road early in the morning!
<3 Frank. Kayla makes the same face.
Wow, these muffins look so good! I have a break from classes for the rest of this week, so I think I'll be doing some baking...
Oh YUM!!!! Love all of your muffin creations and these are no exception!
By the way, there is a Les Mils Quarterly coming up next month and I wanted to ask you about it. Have you ever been to a Quarterly Training? It looks like they give you a taste of every les Mils class in a one day training. I think it would be good for me to get this experience because I can't decide what area or class I really want to specialize in. I;m just trying to get as much experience as I can. Do you actually get an certifications with this or is it just more of a renewal thing for teachers that already have their certifications?
i love pumpkin muffinsss! i usually make the cupcake version from vegan cupcakes take over the world :) so goood! tho im bookmarking urs to make when i finally get my hands on some pumpkin this season!
i always want to do workouts from dvds but i always find the ones i get to be horrible and i feel foolish. Do you have any recommendations? Are those ones you made? or just ones ur doing?
These are where it's at! Holy yum!
My workouts are going great this week. I'm happy to report I haven't done the same workout twice. :)
Oh my goodness, these look amazing!! I wish I had one right now!
I am loving the new Body Attack Release. More jumping and running and much tougher than the last....but I am so glad no more superman. :) (for now)
You ARE a pumpkin making machine! Love it - must try a recipe so that I can have pumpkin for the first time!! :) I think trying it with chocolate will make me love it for sure!

MMmmmmm pumpkin, it's the bomb! Now chocolate and pumpkin... even more of a bomb!
Can anyone buy those workout dvds or only if you are an instructor? I'd love to try them out but don't live near a gym that offers it.
AWWW!! Baby Frank! He's so cute waiting there for Josh!
Girl, you're killing me with all these wonderful chocolate and chocolate pumpkin recipes. Good thing my weekend is mostly free b/c I wanna make these muffins!
Another great pumpkin recipe! I have to try these.
Just made those muffins along with a pumpkin spice icing, and oh my god! I have never made a successful vegan baked good until tonight, thanks to you! They are semi-crisp on the outside and moist and yummy on the inside. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.
