Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cups butternut squash puree
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups mini chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, combine the butternut squash puree, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
Step 8
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the tin. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
