Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined—avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs attached.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely to prevent sogginess and make handling easier.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for best results and a fluffy texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
  • Use freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg for vibrant flavor.
  • Use an oven thermometer to ensure correct baking temperature.
  • Toss chocolate chips in a little flour before folding in to prevent sinking.
