Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Yield: 12 muffins
These muffins are cozy with pumpkin and warm spices, and sprinkled with chocolate in every bite. With golden tops and a soft, buttery crumb, this easy muffins recipe is a delightfully tasty way to kick off the autumn brunch season!
Ingredients
- 1⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon Morton kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon ground mace
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup canned pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, gently melted
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a standard muffin pan lightly yet thoroughly with cooking spray - or line with paper baking liners. I prefer to just spray my muffin pan for this recipe - I like the texture and appearance of the muffins better than when I use paper liners. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, and cloves. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and set aside.
- In another medium bowl, combine the eggs, pumpkin purée, and melted butter.
- Add the pumpkin mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just moistened (batter may be a bit lumpy). Then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide batter between the 12 prepared muffin cups - I like to use a scoop for this. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips over the tops if desired.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into centers of the muffins comes out just clean. Do not over bake.
- Let muffins cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the pan to a cooling rack.
