Scale

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon ground ginger.
  3. In another bowl, mix together 1 cup of canned pumpkin puree, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula until just combined.
  5. Fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter.
  6. For the streusel topping, in a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter. Create a crumbly mixture and stir in ¼ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts if using.
  7. Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full, and sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
