Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are made with real pumpkin. They are so delicious with the perfect amount of sweetness and spice.
Equipment
- Muffin Pan
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour (180 grams - sifted) I used King Arthur's Baking Flour
- 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil *see notes for applesauce revision
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups semi-sweet baking chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl add sugar, eggs, oil, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
- In another mixing bowl combine pumpkin pie spice, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and salt. (I like to combine my dry ingredients using a whisk - totally optional).
- Add wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until combined.
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips (reserve the reamining chocolate chips for the top after you pour mixture).
- Use muffin liners OR grease muffin pan then divide batter evenly by pouring mixture into the 12 muffin cups. Add remaining chocolate chips to the top of all 12 muffins.
- Bake for 15 minutes to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Use a toothpick to check the center to make sure it comes out clean.
- Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Cool for at least 15-20 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Nutrition Facts:

- 388 kcal made with vegetable oil
Notes:
- Applesauce adds moisture when baking. Feel free to reduce the amount of oil by using unsweetened applesauce. I've used the ratio 1/4 cup of oil, 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce (add 1/4 cup of water if mixture is too dry) OR you can use 1:1 ratio of unsweetened applesauce to oil.
- You can substitute white sugar and brown sugar for Truvia complete which is a 1:1 ratio for both brown and white sugar.
- If you want to make this recipe completely sugar-free, use Lily's Semi-Sweet Baking Chips (made with Stevia and no sugar added). I've used this brand and they are really good!
- Any brand of pureed pumpkin will work. I like Libby's or whatever grocery brand that I am purchasing from.
