These Wholesome Double Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins are tender, rich, and deeply chocolatey, with pumpkin keeping them incredibly moist. They come together in under 30 minutes with simple ingredients and are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (210g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (240g) pure pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup (60ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another large bowl, whisk eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and slightly lighter in color, about 1 minute.
  4. Whisk in vegetable oil until fully combined and glossy.
  5. Add pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth and uniform.
  6. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined (a few lumps are okay). Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in chocolate chips, reserving about 2 tablespoons for topping.
  8. Portion batter evenly into prepared muffin cups (about 3 tablespoons each, filling almost to the top). Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top and press in slightly.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tops should spring back when lightly pressed.
  10. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For bakery-style domed tops, fill muffin cups all the way to the top. Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins. Let muffins cool in the pan for exactly 5 minutes to prevent sogginess. For even distribution of chocolate chips, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before folding into the batter.
