TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST PUMPKIN MUFFINS

Make sure you use pure canned pumpkin puree. Do NOT use pumpkin pie filling because it is not the same thing and your muffins will come out differently.

Alter the spices if needed. I opted to use 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. If you wish to do less then do 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice. I love the full amount of spices because pumpkin itself can be bland but the added spices enhance the pumpkin flavor.

You can use any type of chocolate chips your prefer. I chose semi-sweet chocolate chips but you can use dark chocolate as well.

If making dairy-free, any kind of dairy-free milk will work for this recipe. I use 1/2 cup of applesauce as an egg replacement. Make sure to use unsweetened applesauce.

HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

Using your spatula, mix your dry ingredients so that they are combined. This includes your all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.

Add all your wet ingredients: dairy-free milk, applesauce, vanilla extract, and canned pumpkin. Then slowly mix with your spatula until there are no more streaks of flour remaining. You do not want to overmix your batter.

You can use whatever you like to scoop but I prefer to use an ice cream scoop. It gives me the perfect amount per muffin. Otherwise, make sure each muffin tin is filled 3/4 full.

Bake at 350 degrees F for approximately 20 to 22 minutes. I always give a range because all ovens bake differently. Start at 20 minutes and watch closely from there until a toothpick comes out clean.
