Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

November 6, 2015 by Jaida Leave a Comment

It’s Friday! And, it’s November and fall and all that jazz so….you get another pumpkin goodie today!!! Aren’t you excited??

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
I knew you would be. You crazy pumpkin lovers, you.
As many pumpkin desserts as there are out there, it seems like pumpkin + chocolate chips = the best.
And a little secret…I used the donut batter to make these. Shhhh.
I didn’t need 5 gazillion donuts, and I wanted to make muffins as well so…I took a risk, having no idea if the texture would turn out right. They turned out perfectly!! Moist, not dense and heavy, and pumpkin-chocolate-chip-a-licious!
What more could you ask for?? And they’re mini. So, they’re adorable. That makes any dessert better. Miniature and adorable. Duh.

Pumpkin Choc Chip Muffins

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour (measure 2 cups remove 2 Tbsp)
  • 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white and/or chocolate chips
 
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place liners in  your muffin tins. (I used mini muffin tins – will make 4 dozen or so mini’s. Adjust cooking time up if you make regular size muffins.)
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the  flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, combine the sugars, making sure there are not clumps of brown sugar remaining (use fingers to break if necessary.)
  3. Add the oil, eggs, pumpkin puree and vanilla extract and mix until well blended.
  4. Add dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture, in two batches, mixing well after each batch.
  5. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, fill each muffin tin liner about 2/3’s with batter.
  7. Place in oven and bake about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a rack and enjoy warm or refrigerate in an airtight container.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
