Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (105g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (112g) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (63g) sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cups (265g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups (225g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • Additional chocolate chips for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream until smooth.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  4. Combine: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 1 1/4 cups of chocolate chips.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top if desired.
  7. Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool: Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Swap the vegetable oil with applesauce for a lighter muffin.
  • Add chopped nuts or dried cranberries for extra texture and flavor.
