Ingredients
✔ 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
✔ 1 tsp baking soda
✔ ½ tsp baking powder
✔ 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
✔ ½ tsp ground nutmeg
✔ ½ tsp salt
✔ 2 large eggs
✔ 1 cup pumpkin puree
✔ ¾ cup granulated sugar
✔ ½ cup brown sugar, packed
✔ ½ cup vegetable oil
✔ 1 tsp vanilla extract
✔ 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare the Muffin Tin
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
4. Combine the Dry & Wet Ingredients
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
5. Add the Chocolate Chips
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Fill the Muffin Tin
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ of the way full.
7. Bake & Cool
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving Ideas
☕ Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea for the ultimate cozy snack.
🍫 Drizzle with a little melted chocolate for extra indulgence.
🍯 Spread with a touch of honey or butter for a richer flavor.
Pro Tips
✔ For extra moist muffins, use pumpkin puree and avoid pumpkin pie filling, which is pre-spiced.
✔ If you prefer a less sweet muffin, reduce the amount of sugar by ¼ cup.
✔ Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are an easy, flavorful way to bring the taste of fall into your kitchen. Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert! 🍂🍫🎃
