Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin tin
  • Muffin liners (optional)
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Toothpick
  • wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and oil until well combined.
  4. Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature eggs and avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough muffins. Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage. Consider adding a streusel topping or substituting some of the semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate or white chocolate chips for a unique flavor twist.
