Halloween Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins

Ingredients

For the muffins:

• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• ¾ cup applesauce
• ¼ cup maple syrup or agave nectar
• ¼ cup Sunwarrior Cocoa Powder
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon Sunwarrior Sea Salt
• ½ cup vegan chocolate chips

• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 teaspoons almond milk

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease muffin tin
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, applesauce, and maple syrup or agave nectar.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each about 3/4 full.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean. Let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. To make the spiderweb topping (optional), mix the powdered sugar and almond milk until it forms a thick but pourable consistency. Drizzle it over the muffins in a spiral pattern to create a web-like design.
