How to make pumpkin muffins

This muffin recipe is pretty easy to make. Measure flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice into a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients with wet ingredients. Mix in chocolate chips and bake.

That’s it! So easy, right?

Make these muffins your own!

You can get creative and add some more mix-ins to these pumpkin muffins, aside from the chocolate chips. You can also substitute the chocolate chips for other ingredients.

Some of my favorites are walnuts, coconut, or you can even fill each muffin with a cream cheese mixture or top them with cinnamon sugar. You cannot go wrong with any of these combinations.

How long do these muffins keep?

Once the muffins have cooled to room temperature, place them in an airtight container. They will keep at room temperature for two days and up to a week in the fridge.

The muffins also freeze really well. Just place them in a freezer bag, or wrap it with foil. They will keep well for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen muffins at room temperature.

Can you make the batter ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the batter up to 2 days before you plan to bake them. They may be a little denser, but they will still taste super delicious! You can also freeze the batter in a muffin tin and cook right from frozen, just add about 5 minutes to the cooking time.

What is pumpkin pie spice?

These pumpkin chocolate chip muffins have a little pie spice in them for that unmistakeable taste of fall! Pumpkin pie spice is a combination of nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and cloves.

Recipe Notes and Tips

• Be sure to grease your pan before adding the batter. If you don’t you risk the muffins getting stuck to the pan.
• Don’t over mix the batter, everything should be just incorporated. If you over-mix, they won’t be as light and fluffy.
• Ovens tend to run at different temperatures, so be sure to check the muffins around 16 minutes to make sure that they don’t over bake.
• Let the muffins cool for 10 minutes before enjoying!

Go ahead and bake your heart out into muffins and enjoy!
