Instructions

Notes

  • Chocolate Chips: We recommend using mini chocolate chips in this recipe to evenly disperse chocolate flavor throughout the muffins.
  • Fold In The Chocolate Chips: After the muffin batter is combined, gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the batter.
  • Add Chocolate Chips On Top: If you want, you can save some of the mini chocolate chips or add additional chocolate chips to the top of the muffins before baking them.
  • Pumpkin Puree: Make sure to use pumpkin puree in this recipe, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice: If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, combine 1 ½ teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon of ground ginger, and a pinch of cloves.
