Instructions de Pose et d'Entretien
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-hole muffin pan with non-stick paper liners. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk self-rising flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, soft brown sugar, pumpkin pie spices, and salt, if used. Whisk very well to break up any lumps of soft brown sugar and form a consistent mixture.
- In another bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, soy milk, and vanilla extract.
- Add the pumpkin milk mixture to the dry ingredients and use a rubber spatula to combine and form a smooth muffin batter.
- For sweeter muffins, fold in chocolate chips and stir to incorporate evenly.
- Répartissez la pâte uniformément dans les 12 alvéoles du moule à muffins.
- Bake the muffins on the center rack of the oven for 18-22 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean.
- Let them cool down on a cooling rack.

Ingrédients et substitutions
Il vous suffit de quelques ingrédients simples pour réaliser cette recette. Voici comment les choisir et les interchanger.

- Farine auto montante – This is the main structure of the muffins. It already contains a leavening agent, which helps the muffins rise and become fluffy. If you don’t have any, you can make your own by mixing 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder.
- Poudre de cacao sans sucre – This provides the deep, rich chocolate flavor. I recommend using unsweetened cocoa powder to control the sweetness of the muffins.
- Sucre brun mou – This ingredient adds moisture and a lovely caramel-like sweetness. Other granulated sweeteners like coconut sugar work too, but the muffins might not be quite as moist.
- Lait de soja – This provides the necessary liquid for the batter. I find full-fat soy milk gives the best moist texture and it brings more protein. You can use other plant-based milks like almond or oat milk, but the result might be slightly drier.
- Purée de citrouille en conserve – This is my secret to oil-free baking! It adds incredible moisture, acts as a binder, and gives a tender crumb without needing any oil.
- Épices pour tarte à la citrouille – This blend of spices adds a warm, cozy flavor that pairs beautifully with the chocolate. If you don’t have the blend, ground cinnamon is a great alternative.

Permettez-moi de vous donner quelques conseils supplémentaires pour des muffins parfaits.
- Améliorez la saveur – The pumpkin flavor is very subtle, so don’t skip the pumpkin pie spices! They add a wonderful fall flavor that really complements the chocolate.
- Ajouter du croquant – For a different texture, you can swap the chocolate chips for 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Stick to the Flour – This recipe is specifically developed for self-rising flour or an all-purpose flour blend with baking powder. It won’t work with almond flour or oat flour, so please don’t make that swap.
- Sugar Swaps – If you’d like, you can replace the soft brown sugar with an unrefined option like coconut sugar or unrefined cane sugar.







we’ve just made these. hmmmm, really yummee :))
had to make couple of alterations, but these came out just perfect! Thank you 🙂
Thank you ! I am glad it came out good with your changes.
Is ‘soft’ brown sugar just light as opposed to dark brown sugar? Do you measure it by packing it down in the cup, per usual?
Soft brown sugar is the common term for the moist, pliable texture of both light and dark brown sugar (white sugar with molasses). Yes, you must pack it down firmly into the measuring cup so it holds its shape when inverted.
what do I do if I used almond flour instead? they’re not firming up in the oven!
You can’t swap flour for almond flour, it will never work. It’s written in the baking tips in the post : you can’t make the recipe with oat flour or almond flour. Flour is gluten, it has a structure to muffins and cake. Almond flour is nuts, into a powder, it’s mostly fat, it adds moisture and doesn’t bind. Recipes developed with almond flour are very specific and will use lots of binding from flaxmeal, chia seeds or other starchy flours like tapioca etc.
Could this be baked in a rectangular tin as a tray bake?
I guess, I haven’t tried yet.
