Ingredients
15 oz pumpkin puree (canned plain)
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup cane sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, cane sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure your pumpkin puree is plain and not pumpkin pie filling. For best results, use room temperature eggs. To store, keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
