Spiced Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
These little beauties are not just any muffins; they are like tiny clouds of happiness nestled in a festive pumpkin-flavored hug, dripping with chocolate. What’s not to love?!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (yep, that’s the secret ingredient!)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (because chocolate makes everything better)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Yes, your kitchen will gradually turn into a cozy haven of pumpkin spice goodness.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Channel your inner scientist as you mix those dry ingredients.
- In another bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth, like that one friend who always seems to have their life together.
- Add in the eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mix, and whisk until well combined. Yes, emulsifying is a word we can use now!
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Don’t stir too much! Just enough to combine, like you’re tossing a salad, not overmixing the dough.
- Finally, fold in those glorious chocolate chips. The more, the merrier—let’s be honest, no one wants a sad muffin!
- Line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with a little love, then scoop the batter into each cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. This is where the magic happens—watch them rise like they’re chasing a dream!
- Let them cool for a bit before devouring, if you can resist the heavenly aroma wafting through the air. They are best enjoyed warm—you’ll be glad you waited!
And there you have it, your very own spiced pumpkin chocolate chip muffins! Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or when you just need a comforting embrace in muffin form. Enjoy!
