Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- â…› teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Gently fold in 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top of each muffin, if desired.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For even chocolate chip distribution, toss the chocolate chips with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
- Do not overmix the batter; overmixing can lead to tough muffins. Mix until just combined.
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
