Dense, fudgy, and moist pumpkin muffins with a chewy brownie-like texture, studded with dark chocolate chips and warm fall spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cloves
  • 1 cup (240g) Pumpkin Puree (100% pure)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Vegetable Oil
  • 1 cup (200g) Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup (170g) Chocolate Chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Pecans (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until no streaks remain.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  4. Add eggs one at a time to the wet mixture, whisking well after each addition.
  5. Stir in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  6. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture. Fold together with a rubber spatula until flour just disappears; leave some lumps.
  7. Gently fold in chocolate chips (and pecans if using).
  8. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to ensure a chewy texture. Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. For best results, underbake slightly as they continue to cook on the hot pan. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
