Ingredients

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or grease the cups with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract, and whisk until the wet ingredients are smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Do not overmix—the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for topping if desired.

Step 6

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top of the batter for a decorative touch.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (a few melted chocolate streaks are fine).

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins 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 or refrigerate for up to a week.
