Pumpkin Dessert Recipes
The fall season is the perfect time to add pumpkin to anything and everything! I am definitely obsessed with the delicious pumpkin flavor in baked goods. I love making pumpkin pie or baking it into cheesecakes with lots of yummy cinnamon and nutmeg. The spices and the delicious pumpkin flavor just go hand in hand.
And this Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffin recipe is the perfect way to enjoy all those fall flavors in a soft, moist and filling muffin!
These muffins make a delicious breakfast treat or afternoon snack, especially since they are loaded with chocolate chips! Who can say no to chocolate? Definitely not me. These muffins can also be made in advance, you can freeze them and enjoy some when a craving strikes!
How Do You Make Pumpkin Muffins From Scratch?
- Preheat oven and line muffin tins with liners.
- Combine dry ingredients.
- Combine sugars, pumpkin puree, vanilla, egg and oil. Fold in dry ingredients, then chocolate chips.
- Spoon into muffin cups and bake (as per directions below)
Pumpkin Muffin Tips!
- Canned pumpkin or pumpkin puree is a great substitute for oil and eggs in all your baked goods. It adds a certain creaminess and tenderness, plus it is especially great in cakes, muffins, or brownies. And pumpkin puree has a light consistency, resulting in a fluffier muffin.
- Using the right amount of baking powder and baking soda will help achieve fluffy muffins. If you use too little, the muffins won’t rise. If you use too much they will rise quickly and then fall flat.
- Store muffins in a single layer inside a paper towel lined airtight container, then place another paper towel on top of the muffins. This will help keep the muffins nice and moist. You can store muffins this way for up to 3 days at room temperature.
- You can also add the muffins to freezer-safe bags and freeze for 1-2 months. Defrost before serving.
- Serve these pumpkin muffins with a hot pumpkin latte for an extra special treat!
