- 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 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin, or line with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently 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 extra moist muffins, you can use a combination of pumpkin puree and applesauce.
- If you don’t have pumpkin puree, sweet potato puree can be a good substitute.
- To ensure even chocolate chip distribution, toss the chocolate chips with a tablespoon of the flour mixture before adding them to the batter.
- You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a sweet crunch.
