Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin Use 100% pure pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil Can substitute with melted coconut oil
  • 1 cup sugar Can substitute with brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Can substitute with maple syrup
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with a gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice Add more for an intense pumpkin flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the canned pumpkin, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Baking
  1. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  2. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, they're ready.
  3. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat for about 15-20 seconds in the microwave or on low heat in a pan.
