Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Add-ins
- 1 cup mini or regular chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until evenly blended.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
- Incorporate Wet into Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix—stop as soon as the flour disappears for tender muffins.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top before baking for a pretty, melty finish.
- Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and sprinkle the leftover chocolate chips on each. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature for ultimate enjoyment.
Notes
- Measure flour properly by spooning it into the cup and leveling with a knife to avoid dense muffins.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
- Use fresh spices for the best flavor.
- Adjust sugar quantity to suit your preference for sweetness.
- Mini chocolate chips distribute more evenly for sweet surprises in every bite.
