Skinny Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Delicious, soft and tender healthy pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. Just over 150 calories each!

I love meeting people who share my love for cooking from scratch! I’ve recently made a new friend who is also a food blogger and I found this amazing Healthy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins recipe on her blog, Fueling a Fit Fam. She’s also passionate about cooking with “real” ingredients and her blog has tons of healthy recipes I can’t wait to try!

These Skinny Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins did not disappoint! They are soft and cake-like and the pumpkin spice flavors are delicious! I’ve already made two big batches and frozen them for special snacks for my kids. They devour them, and since it’s a healthy pumpkin chocolate chip muffin recipe, I don’t have to worry about them indulging on one for a little snack. And let’s be honest, I love them even more than my kids do 🙂
