These cozy small-batch pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are the perfect fall treat. Made with simple ingredients, they are incredibly moist, perfectly portioned for six muffins, and filled with melty chocolate in every bite.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour (120g / 1 cup)
  • Granulated sugar (100g / ½ cup)
  • Light brown sugar (50g / ¼ cup, packed)
  • Pumpkin puree (120g / ½ cup)
  • Vegetable oil (60ml / ¼ cup)
  • Large egg (1, room temperature)
  • Milk (60ml / ¼ cup)
  • Vanilla extract (1 tsp)
  • Pumpkin pie spice (1½ tsp)
  • Baking powder (1 tsp)
  • Baking soda (¼ tsp)
  • Salt (¼ tsp)
  • Semi-sweet chocolate chips (90g / ½ cup)
  • Coarse sugar (1 tbsp, optional)
  • Pepitas (2 tbsp, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 6 cups of a muffin pan with paper liners. Fill empty cups halfway with water.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not over-mix.
  5. Toss chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of flour, then gently fold into batter.
  6. Divide batter evenly among the 6 lined muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Sprinkle tops with coarse sugar or pepitas if desired.
  8. Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients. Tossing chocolate chips in flour prevents them from sinking. Do not over-mix the batter to keep muffins tender. Check pumpkin puree for excess water and pat dry if needed.
