Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or coconut oil for vegan)
  • 2 large eggs (or flax eggs/mashed banana for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients beforehand to ensure a smooth and accurate baking process.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently just until no dry streaks remain. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly into the batter for melty chocolate goodness in every bite.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin and Bake: Divide the batter evenly into a greased or lined muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm for extra melty chocolate experience.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and pumpkin puree for better mixing.
  • Do not overmix batter to avoid dense muffins.
  • Spoon and level flour to measure accurately and prevent dryness.
  • Use fresh spices for maximum flavor.
  • Perform a toothpick test to check doneness and prevent overbaking.
