Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (optional)

Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin tin

  • whisk
  • rubber spatula or spoon
  • measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, both sugars, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually stir wet mixture into dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Gently fold in chocolate chips and oats (if using) until evenly distributed.
  6. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full with batter.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.

Notes

Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor. You can substitute oil with applesauce or Greek yogurt to reduce fat. For extra texture, fold in oats or chopped nuts. These muffins freeze beautifully and reheat well in the microwave.
