These moist, tender chocolate chip pumpkin muffins are made in just one bowl with simple pantry ingredients. They are quick to prepare, perfect for fall, and stay soft for days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips gently.
  6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Notes

Ensure eggs are at room temperature to help emulsify the batter. Do not pack the flour; use the spoon-and-level method to avoid dry muffins. Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender. Muffins continue to cook slightly after removal from the oven, so pull them when the toothpick is just barely clean. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
