Favorite Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Warm fall flavors come together in these easy, one bowl pumpkin muffins studded with chocolate chips, a family favorite for years!
The perfect fall muffin, even for those who don't love pumpkin! These light and fluffy muffins, filled with dark chocolate chips, are the first thing I bake as soon as the weather starts to cool off! Keep reading for the recipe and a printable recipe card!
I'll be honest, I'm the only one in our family who really loves all things
pumpkin, so I was surprised when my picky daughter tried these at a friend's
house and came home raving about them! Of course I promptly requested the
recipe and we've been making them ever since!
The addition of dark chocolate chips elevates these simple muffins and adds a
depth of flavor that is richer (and chocolatey-ier!) than plain spiced
muffins! Try them and let us know if you love them too!

This recipe really couldn't be simpler, is easy to whip up and you'll
appreciate that you'll need just a single bowl. Perfect for breakfast,
snacks, treats in the lunch box - you'll be making these all season long!
They bake up light and fluffy.
I have altered this recipe slightly to reduce the sugar.
Ingredients
- 1/2-3/4 c sugar, white or brown
- 2 eggs at room temperature
- 1 cup pumpkin puree*
- 1/2 c melted butter
- 1 Tbs pumpkin pie spice
- 1-2/3 c all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 c chocolate chips (we like the Hershey's Special Dark)
- cupcake liners (I love these decorated watercolor pumpkin ones!)
*you won't use a whole can of pumpkin, but I've got a pumpkin cookie
recipe that will use up the rest!
Insider Tip: For the best presentation, after baked muffins cool, insert them into a fresh cupcake liner for the best appearance!
Prepare muffin pan with cupcake liners and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350°
Step 1
Cream together the sugar and eggs, then add the pumpkin, butter and pumpkin
pie spice and mix well. You can do this in a mixer, but I just used a whisk.
Step 2
Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and mix just until flour is incorporated.
Step 3
Gently stir the chocolate chips into the muffin batter.
Step 4
Fill muffin cups with batter. I like to use an
ice cream scoop
to get even amounts. Bake on middle rack of oven for 20-25 minutes or until
toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Be prepared because your house will smell amazing!
Let muffins cool on a rack before diving in.
Your family will love these moist muffins with their dark chocolate chips. Of
course, you can use any chocolate chips you like!
