These tender pumpkin chocolate chip muffins combine warm spices and sweet chocolate chips for a cozy, comforting treat perfect for fall and beyond.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves (optional but recommended)
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil (can swap for melted coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup (240g) pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or spray with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk brown sugar, maple syrup, vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold just until combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
  5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Start checking at 20 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs, they’re done.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Toss chocolate chips in a little flour before folding to prevent sinking. Tent with foil if muffins brown too quickly. For dairy-free, swap eggs for flax eggs and use coconut oil. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
