Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup (77g) neutral oil (such as avocado or canola)
- 1/4 cup (57g) brown sugar
- 1 cup (206) granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 7.5 oz (212g) pure pumpkin (half a normal can)
- 1/3 cup (77ml) milk (can use a non-dairy milk)
- 1 and 2/3 cups (195g) all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Large pinch of ground ginger
- Large pinch of cinnamon
- 3/4 cup (112g) chocolate chips (I like Trader Joe's or Ghirardelli semi-sweet)
Instructions
- Spray or line a muffin tin with 12 wells. Preheat oven to 350° F.
- In a really big bowl, whisk together the oil and the sugars. When combined, add each egg one at a time, then whisk in the pumpkin and milk.
- Over the wet ingredients, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon. Whisk until mostly smooth.
- Gently mix in the chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle on top of each muffin before baking. Divide the batter into the muffin tin. It can come 3/4 of the way up.
- Bake for 20-25 mins, until the muffins spring back when lightly pressed or a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before attempting to unmold,

This recipe was the perfect use for leftover pumpkin purée I had. The batter comes together quickly and the muffins are very moist.
I made this for our holiday party for office folks who can’t have sugar. Used an apple instead of sugar, and sugar-free chocolate chips. Excellent!
I made these for a couple of different potlucks and everyone loved them so much. I was asked for the recipe multiple times. Such a crowd pleaser!
Made these moist and tasty muffins on the first snowy day of winter and it was a cozy way to start the morning! I grated a bit of fresh ginger in there since I didn’t have ground ginger and I think I’ll add more next time- it was a great flavor boost.
I do think there is a discrepancy in the ingredients listed (oil is listed as 1/3 instead of what I think is supposed to be 1/3 cup).
the best pumpkin spice muffin/loaf recipe i’ve tested! these are super yummy with streusel topping too. next time i’d add a little more pumpkin puree. i made mini muffins and had them done at 13-14 minutes then broiled the tops for 1 minute 🙂
