Bakery Style Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Muffins – jumbo pumpkin muffins with dark chocolate chunks! Make bakery style treat in your own kitchen!

It’s National Coffee Day! You guys know by now that my Husband and I are huge coffee fans. We get up way before the kids just so we can enjoy our morning cup together. He likes his with just a light splash of half and half but preferably heavy cream and sugar. I like mine the same but I am more into experimenting with new flavors. See my recipe for homemade pumpkin pie spice coffee creamer! I know you guys love it too – thank you for letting me know!!! Recently, I started a series on Insta where I share a photo of our Sunday morning cups of coffee with a different treat alongside. Follow our #SundayMorningFor2 series on Instagram!

Now onto the muffins! Whether you buy coffee in your favorite coffee house or brewing it in your own kitchen, you know that baked treats are a perfect side to your cup. Especially muffins. And not any muffins – jumbo bakery style muffins!!

Since it’s fall and pumpkin is on our minds (see here, here and some more here), naturally I made pumpkin muffins. While grabbing my homemade pumpkin pie spice (see the recipe here), I spotted a bar of Hershey’s Special Dark chocolate. In minutes, it was chopped into chunks and added to the batter.

MINI PANCAKE MUFFINS

Pancakes are a must every Sunday in our house. We love my Fluffy Chocolate Chip Pancakes and the Peanut Butter Jelly Pancakes. Today, we are breaking the rules. We are making pancakes but in half the time and all of them at once! HA! How about that for a twist? But what a fun twist it is. My kids were speechless and right afterward giggling with excitement and impatiently awaiting the muffins to be done.

These Mini Pancake Muffins are pretty much pancakes baked in a mini muffin pan. The recipe makes 24 mini muffins so you can match and mix the toppings to your likings. We chose chopped strawberries, chocolate chips and shredded unsweetened coconut. You can make a variety with just one batch!

Usually this time of year, I take to here, my little space on the internet to complain about the freezing cold weather. If you live in the Midwest, you know what I mean. The winters here can be horrible. But this year, I really can’t complain. For the last week, we have been enjoying unusually warm temperatures here in Kansas. It’s been around 60 degrees almost every day. And this week is supposed to be above average as well.

This past weekend it was so warm, that we went for a walk in the park and stopped by a large field to fly kites. Yes! We were flying kites in the middle of January! It sounds so crazy but it was so fun!

So, I am not complaining about the weather. But, because it’s January and we all are trying to eat healthier and make better choices everyday, I am sharing a healthy recipe today.
