Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup pumpkin puree
½ cup pure maple syrup
½ cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
2 eggs, at room temperature
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
⅓ cup dark cocoa powder (such as Hershey's® Special Dark), sifted
½ cup dark chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
  • Whisk together whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and salt in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
  • Whisk together pumpkin puree, maple syrup, yogurt, eggs, and melted butter in a second bowl until thoroughly combined and no lumps remain. Stir 1/2 of the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture until just combined. Mix in the other 1/2 of the flour mixture and stir until just combined, making sure to not overmix.
  • Divide batter evenly between 2 bowls. Whisk cocoa powder into one bowl until just combined. Fold chocolate chips into the other bowl. (Both batters will be somewhat thick.)
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoon pumpkin batter and 1 tablespoon chocolate batter into each muffin cup. Continue filling muffin cups, alternating between both batters, until each cup is approximately 3/4 full. Make 2 or 3 swirls in the batter of each muffin with a bamboo skewer or butter knife, holding the muffin liner in place as you swirl. (The chocolate chips may make it difficult but just swirl around them.)
  • Place muffins into the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out with a few moist crumbs, 19 to 23 minutes. Do not overbake.
  • Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

I substituted chocolate chips for the chocolate swirl and it was still fantastic. Will definitely try the original recipe next time.
