  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry, folding gently until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
  5. Distribute batter evenly into muffin cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use high-quality canned pumpkin for the best flavor.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender.
  • Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top before baking for extra chocolaty goodness.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze muffins wrapped individually for up to 3 months.
