Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup (100g) Packed Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup (55g) Unsalted Butter, Melted
  • 1 Large Egg, Room Temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup (85g) Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a six-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk melted butter until smooth. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar, whisking vigorously for about a minute until glossy.
  4. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree to the sugar mixture. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for topping if desired.
  7. Divide batter evenly among the six muffin cups, filling them nearly full. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure pumpkin puree is 100% pure, not pie filling. Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins. If using a dark or old muffin tin, lower oven temperature by 25°F. For mini-muffins, bake for 10-12 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or freeze for up to three months.
