These Cozy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are warm, comforting, and perfect for fall. They feature a moist pumpkin-spiced batter with melty semi-sweet chocolate chips, making them an easy and delicious homemade treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour (or substitute almond flour for a gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • 1 cup (240ml) canned pumpkin puree
  • ⅔ cup (135g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the muffins are done.
  8. Cool the muffins in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and fluffy. Use room temperature eggs for better blending. Toss chocolate chips in a little flour before folding to prevent sinking. For extra crunch, sprinkle turbinado sugar on top before baking. Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
