Ingredients

1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)

2 large eggs

3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar

1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar

1 cup (225g) canned pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)

1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

1/4 cup (60ml) milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Extra chocolate chips for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined.
  4. Add pumpkin purée, oil, milk, and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
  5. Gradually stir in dry ingredients just until combined—do not overmix.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips.
  7. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
  8. Bake 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use whole wheat or oat flour for added fiber and a heartier texture.

Make dairy-free with almond or oat milk and dairy-free chocolate chips.

Add nuts or pumpkin seeds for crunch.

Reduce sugar or use coconut sugar for a lighter sweetness.

Freeze up to 2 months; thaw before serving.
