Pumpkin plays with chocolate miniature chips atop a chocolate Pocky crust. The muffin is soft, moist and a must-make for busy moms.
Speaking of homemakers, this recipe is adapted from The Dinner Mom.
- 3½ packs (2.46 ounce boxes, 1½ boxes) Chocolate Pocky
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1½ cups whole wheat flour
- 2/3 cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 cups pumpkin puree

6. Add the chocolate chips.
7. Lightly spray the crust lined cupcake cases with buttery cooking spray.

Ninja Note: A mini ice cream scoop is a great tool for evenly dividing muffin batter.
