Description

Warm, cozy muffins with a delightful blend of pumpkin and chocolate, perfect for any season.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin purée
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter or neutral oil
  • 1/2 cup milk or dairy-free alternative
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper cups or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and sugars until combined. Add in pumpkin purée, melted butter, milk, and vanilla, stirring until smooth.
  4. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients gently with a spatula, taking care not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips last.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. For a bakery-style top, sprinkle some extra chocolate chips and a light dusting of cinnamon on each muffin before baking.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes until muffins rise and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, toast chocolate chips before folding them into the batter. Store muffins in an airtight container for up to three days.
