CHOCOLATE BATTER PREPARATION
In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients (Cocoa powder, sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder and sea salt). Make a well, add the egg, sour cream, avocado oil and vanilla bean paste. Mix until combined. Set aside.
PUMPKIN BATTER PREPARATION
In another mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients (All-purpose flour, baking powder, sea salt, pumpkin spice, sugar and light brown sugar). Make a well, add the egg, sour cream, pumpkin purée, avocado oil and vanilla bean paste. Mix until combined. Set aside.
ASSEMBLY
Scoop a tablespoon of the pumpkin batter into 9 wells of your prepared muffin tin, then alternate with the dark cocoa batter until you run out. Optional: Add chocolate chips on top.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes. NOTE:This will allow your muffin to have a nice top when baked.
BAKE!
Preheat oven to 350℉/180℃.
Take your Chocolate/Pumpkin muffins out of the refrigerator.
Bake for 15 minutes at 350℉/180℃. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your Muffins from 13 minutes). It is ready when the toothpick inserted comes out clean or with little to no crumbs.
Once your Double Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Muffins are out of the oven, let them cool down for about 10 minutes before unmolding. Enjoy & "BONE" Appétit!NOTE: Like most muffins these are best enjoyed the day of but because of the use of the pumpkin purée these muffins stay moist even on day 2!
