Whole Wheat Chocolate Chunk Muffins

Two days ago I made these muffins as a request from my boyfriend. They were supposed to last the whole week for him to take to work.. and guess what? They are ALL gone! Over the course of 48 hours he devoured these muffins..( Okay I MAY have helped him a bit..)Which isn't so bad since they are pretty healthy!

You will need:

1/3 cup honey
2/3 cup apple sauce
2 tbsp plain cream cheese
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla
1 bag of semi sweet chocolate chunks/chips
1/2 cup chopped walnut or pecans



Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease muffin pan or line with muffin cups.

In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, then add in honey, apple sauce, cream cheese, pumpkin puree and vanilla. Blend well.


Stir the wet ingredients into the dry, a little bit at a time. Once it is combined, then add in the chocolate chunks and the chopped nuts.


Spoon the mixture into each muffin tin until 3/4 full.


Place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes.


Once finished, place on a cooling rack, then store in an air tight container.
