Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Wet Ingredients

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

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents and spices.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree until smooth and velvety.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Bake: Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins.
  • Spoon and level flour when measuring to prevent dense texture.
  • Use fresh spices for the best flavor impact.
  • Bring eggs and wet ingredients to room temperature for smoother blending.
  • Try different chocolate chip types: semi-sweet, dark, or white for variety.
