Drunken Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins
1 1/4 cups (150 g) whole-wheat pastry flour
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup (168 g) agave nectar
1/4 cup (60 ml) canola oil
1 1/4 cups (305 g) pumpkin purée
1/2 cup (120 ml) whiskey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3.5 ounces (100 g) coarsely chopped nondairy (85% cocoa) dark chocolate
Preheat oven to 325°F (170°C, or gas mark 3). Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
In a medium bowl, whisk nectar, oil, pumpkin, whiskey, and vanilla.
Fold wet ingredients into dry, being careful not to over mix. Fold in chopped chocolate.
Divide batter equally into liners.
Bake for 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from muffin tin, and let cool completely before storing.
Yield: 12 muffins

Who could be a grumpy grump after eating whiskey-laced muffins? (Shot for me, shot for the muffins, shot for me . . .)

“until toothpick test comes out conclusive”… :D Celine, you’re so cute! The muffins sound wonderful and no matter that your photos aren’t of the muffins from the batch you liked best – they’re lovely! And I like those hot pink liners too!

Yes, I laughed not because you did not have the picture but that is precisely what I just did :-P I am really trying hard to make vegan treats I like…but whiskey in a muffin should do it for me ;) I’ll have to try!

i have to tell you that i appreciate you make small portions because i hate halving/quartering recipes. i want some drunken muffins! any particular whiskey you use? i have maker’s and while i hate the idea of “wasting” it in muffins, i am also intrigued!
(i really don’t think it’s a waste, i am just a cheapass.)

I loooove your muffin cups!
Also, I agree with Heather, I always end up halving recipes, so I appreciate this (I wouldn’t be able to eat 12 muffins without them going bad!!). =)

your muffins might as well be little supermodels! they’re so gorgeous. but that extra-dark-at-least-85% chocolate part of the recipe made me smile. the darker the chocolate, the better. yum.

I hate it when that happens (the picture thing)! :P I actually purchased some agave nectar recently, and I’m going to consider one of your recipes when I put it to use in an upcoming baking adventure :D.

Whiskey chocolate muffins are the cure for grumpiness.

It’s like pumpkin, whiskey and chocolate had a three way and conceived beautiful little muffins.

I so wish I lived close to you. I look at your site and I think oh, I want some of those, but I am so not a baker! :(
