How to Make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well with nonstick spray.
In a blender, combine 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup canola oil, 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend on high speed for 1 minute until light and smooth.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the batter is too dry.
Gently fold in 1 cup chocolate chips (or carob chips for vegan option) and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional).
Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
Sprinkle the tops with extra sugar, if desired.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
