Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil (or melted butter), eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Bring the Batter Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!
  5. Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Use a spatula to fold the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter, ensuring each muffin will have melty chocolate pockets.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh ground cinnamon and nutmeg for best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins.
  • Use room temperature eggs and pumpkin puree for an even batter texture.
  • Check muffin doneness starting at 18 minutes to avoid drying out.
  • Try using a mini muffin pan for bite-sized muffins with faster baking time.
  • Coat chocolate chips lightly in flour before folding to prevent sinking.
