Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Stop mixing as soon as the flour is just incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top of the muffins.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top of each muffin batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Don't overmix the batter - stop stirring as soon as the flour is incorporated to keep your muffins tender.
- Use room temperature eggs and ingredients for better incorporation and texture.
- Reserve some chocolate chips to sprinkle on top for a bakery-style presentation.
- Check doneness with a toothpick - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- For extra moisture, ensure you're using pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Let muffins cool slightly in the pan before transferring to prevent breaking.
- For maximum flavor, serve slightly warm when chocolate chips are still gooey.
