Pumpkin Muffins with Chocolate Chips

Sharing is caring!

Pumpkin Muffins with Chocolate Chips are an easy treat perfect for anytime of the day! These quick chocolate chip muffins are at the top my list for family friendly fall recipes and are a great introduction for young bakers.

If I had to describe these muffins in two words, those words would not be pumpkin or chocolate, it would be total indulgence. These pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are everything we love about fall. Moist, rich, and spiced pumpkin muffins liberally studded with chocolate chips throughout. So grab your favorite cardigan, your boots and maybe even a pumpkin spice latte and lets get baking!

The thing that is great about making muffins is how little time and effort they take to bake. This recipe takes just about 30 minutes and doesn’t require any fancy tools, just a mixing bowl, a spoon, and a muffin tin, making them a perfect treat to get the kids involved with making. (Side note: I got this adorable muffin tin at an antique store the other day for $4 and I am so excited about it. )

For this recipe you will need:

brown sugar
vegetable oil
eggs
pumpkin puree (homemade or canned)
milk
flour
baking powder
baking soda
cinnamon
ginger
cloves
semisweet chocolate chips

(Another side note: Ever wonder why I write out the list of ingredients like this, before the recipe? It’s so you can easily copy and paste the ingredients you need to your shopping list!)

Let’s talk substitutions, specifically pumpkin pie spice, because I know some of you will be wondering. If you have pumpkin pie spice, you can totally substitute it in for the cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. I just don’t keep it on hand at my house. Same goes with the baking chips. Mini chocolate chips, butterscotch chips or caramel chips would all be great in these easy pumpkin muffins.
