  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line or grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk brown sugar and granulated sugar. Add eggs, whisk well, then add melted butter, pumpkin puree, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry. Gently fold until just combined (don’t overmix!).
  5. Fold in 1¼ cups chocolate chips. Reserve ¼ cup for topping.
  6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Fill ¾ full or to the brim for taller muffins. Top with reserved chocolate chips.
  7. Bake for 18–22 mins, or until toothpick comes out clean. Tops should spring back when touched.
  8. Cool in pan for 5–10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temp eggs and cooled butter for best texture. Spoon and level flour to avoid dense muffins. Add chopped nuts or a dash of cardamom for fun variations!
