Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 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

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until blended. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Bring Wet and Dry Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing and creating tough muffins.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are distributed evenly without overworking the batter.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only melted chocolate attached.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and pumpkin puree for smoother batter and even baking.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain light and tender muffins.
  • Use freshly ground or recently opened spices for best flavor.
  • Measure flour by spooning into the measuring cup and leveling it off for accuracy.
  • Start checking muffins at 18 minutes to prevent overbaking and dryness.
