These small-batch pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are quick, easy, and perfect for cozy mornings. Made with simple ingredients, they deliver a balanced pumpkin flavor with melty chocolate in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (any kind)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 4 to 5 cups of a standard muffin tin with paper liners, or grease them well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the wet mixture and whisk until mostly dissolved.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined (a few lumps are fine).
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving about 1 tablespoon for topping.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top of each muffin and press them in slightly.
  9. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter; mix until just combined. Use room temperature ingredients if possible. Measure flour by spooning and leveling. Let batter rest for 5 minutes before baking for taller muffins. Rotate pan halfway through baking for even browning.
