Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the pumpkin puree and milk to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a healthier option, you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
- Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
- Ensure your pumpkin puree is not pumpkin pie filling.
