  • Chocolate Chips – Feel free to change the chocolate chips to what you prefer. We have even used dark chocolate chips for a delicious variation.

How to Make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins:

  • Step 1 – Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Next, place liners in the muffin tin.

Step 2 – In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3 – In a large bowl, beat together pumpkin puree, sugar, oil and eggs until well combined.

Step 4 – Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until well combined.

Step 5 – Fold in chocolate chips to the pumpkin batter.

Step 6 – Divide batter into liners using a cookie dough scoop or large spoon. You can even top with extra chocolate chips.

Step 7 – Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.

Recipe Tips:

  • Combining Ingredients – Combine the pumpkin mixture with a hand mixer or a stand mixer. This helps to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
  • Prepare Pans – We recommend using paper liners to help with cleanup. If you do not have any, make sure to spray the muffin pan with cooking spray to easily remove the muffins.
  • Cool Muffins – Before serving, cool the cupcakes on a wire rack.
  • Pumpkin Puree – Make sure you use pumpkin puree in this recipe and not pumpkin pie filling.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How to Store Leftovers:

Store leftover muffins in an airtight container or a ziplock bag. You can leave them on the counter or place in the fridge. We recommend serving them within 5 days of making them.

Can you Freeze?

After preparing the muffins, allow them to cool to room temperature. Then place them in a freezer safe bag or container. They will stay fresh up to 2 months. When ready to serve, allow them to thaw on the counter and then enjoy.
