Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup Pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 2/3 cup Brown sugar packed
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Add-ins
  • 1 cup Chocolate chips semi-sweet or milk chocolate

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of each muffin before baking. These muffins store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or can be frozen for longer storage.
