Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • For an extra touch, add a pinch of pumpkin pie spice to the batter.
