Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins combine the moistness of pumpkin with the sweetness of milk chocolate chips for a tender and flavorful baked treat. The batter includes warm spices like cinnamon and a leavening agent to help create a soft crumb with a slight rise. The muffins can be made in standard, mini, or jumbo sizes by adjusting baking time, making them versatile for snacks or breakfast. Sprinkling extra chocolate chips on top adds a melty, chocolatey crust that complements the pumpkin's subtle earthiness.
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.
