Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Description
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins start with a mixture of all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to establish the base and spice notes. Sugar adds sweetness, which balances the savory spiced pumpkin puree incorporated next. Eggs and vegetable oil blend the batter smoothly, contributing to the moist texture. Milk chocolate chips fold in for pockets of melty chocolate in every bite.
The baking process involves filling muffin tins about three-quarters full and baking at 350°F for around 17 to 19 minutes, enough to cook through while maintaining moistness. A toothpick test confirms doneness. Variations include making smaller mini muffins in about 13 minutes or jumbo muffins in 25 minutes.
These muffins serve well as a portable snack or a quick breakfast item. The combination of pumpkin and chocolate satisfies a desire for seasonal flavor with a touch of indulgence. The recipe's notes also suggest freezing leftover muffins after flash-freezing to maintain texture for up to three months, allowing for convenient storage and enjoyment later.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 egg
- 2 cups pumpkin 16-ounce) can
- 1½ cups vegetable oil
- 1½ bags milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Add all dry ingredients to a bowl and mix well.
- Add eggs, pumpkin, and vegetables and beat until all combined.
- Fold in 1 bag of chocolate chips and pour into a greased muffin tin or muffin liners about ¾ full (sprinkle with more chocolate chips on top).
- Bake for 17-19 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the muffin. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, they are done.
Notes
- Muffins can be made mini or jumbo; adjust baking time accordingly to 13 minutes for mini or 25 minutes for jumbo sizes.
- To freeze, cool muffins completely then flash-freeze on a baking sheet before storing in a freezer bag for up to three months.
- Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top before baking to add a melty, textured chocolate topping.
