Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree
- ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
- ½ cup (120ml) milk
- ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with the pumpkin batter.
- Add a small dollop of melted chocolate on top of each muffin. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the chocolate into the batter for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
