Step-by-Step Instructions for Monster Muffins
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, and honey or maple syrup. Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  3. Add a few drops of green food coloring and mix well. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Line a muffin tin with liners or grease it. Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until puffed up and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Remove muffins from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes; then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Attach edible candy eyes to the muffins and decorate with chocolate chips and sprinkles to create monster faces.
  8. Serve on a Halloween-themed platter and enjoy your festive Monster Muffins!
