Ingredients
Scale
- 1 15oz can pumpkin puree
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (105g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup (112g) vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (63g) sour cream
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice (optional)
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 cups (265g) all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cup (225g) semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups well.
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice (if using), kosher salt, and all-purpose flour until well blended.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet pumpkin mixture, stirring gently just until the flour disappears. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb.
- Fold in 1 1/4 cups (225g) of semisweet chocolate chips evenly through the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top of each muffin for an attractive finish and extra melty bites.
- Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
