Pumpkin Gut Chocolate Chip Muffins

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with ghee.

Step 2
Separate the seeds from the stringy pumpkin guts. Place guts into a blender or food processor; pulse until pureed.

Step 3
Mix brown sugar and butter together in a bowl until combined. Add pumpkin puree and eggs; whisk until well blended.

Step 4
Sift 3 cups flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and stir until absorbed. Add as much of the remaining 1 cup flour as needed to create a batter that is moist but thick enough to stand a spoon in. Stir in chocolate chips.

Step 5
Divide batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups.

Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
