  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 36 muffins

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 15 ounces pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup butter, melted

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the muffins evenly.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In the bowl of an electric mixer, add the eggs, pumpkin puree, and melted butter. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is fully combined and smooth, with no visible separate ingredients.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until the mixture is almost combined. It's important to leave some dry ingredients slightly visible to avoid overmixing, which can make the muffins tough.
  4. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Add the dark chocolate chips to the batter and mix on low speed just until they are evenly distributed.
  5. Prepare Muffin Tin: Line your muffin tin with paper liners, preferably parchment muffin baking cups, to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Using a large cookie scoop, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin. This ensures the muffins will be uniform in size.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Cool Muffins: Let the muffins rest in the pan for three minutes after baking, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Mixing the batter until a few dry spots remain helps keep the muffins tender rather than tough.
  • Using parchment muffin liners prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • A large cookie scoop helps achieve uniform muffin sizes for even baking.
  • Test the muffins' doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
  • Allow muffins to cool slightly in the pan before moving them to avoid breakage.
