Ingredients

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups pumpkin puree or mashed sweet potato
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 0.75 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with non-stick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree or mashed sweet potato, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and uniform.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently mix with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid dense muffins.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

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 little melted chocolate is fine!).

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring 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 or freeze for longer storage.
