Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cups Pumpkin puree
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
- 0.25 cups Milk (any kind)
- 0.75 cups Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins.
If using, fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm for a gooey chocolate treat, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
