About The Recipe

It’s the last Saturday of October and we thought it would be fun to share an extra something sweet. Especially since my mom and I were talking about recipes the other day and realized we’ve only shared TWO pumpkin related recipes so far this Fall!

Which, if you’ve been following us for a little while, you’ll know that’s totally unlike us. So, we knew we needed to do something asap!

Honestly, we didn’t have a lot of pumpkin leftover from our Pumpkin Butter Filled Jack O’Lantern Sandwich Cookies from Tuesday. We knew that, whatever we made, it needed to be something that wouldn’t use more than a cup or so.

Which is how we came to the idea of muffins! They’re an easy bake that don’t take very many ingredients. Though, we wanted to do something just a little more than just pumpkin.

Annnnd, just to be real with you all, I’m a sucker for chocolate chips in muffins. So, it didn’t really take that much thought. We quickly made a test batch and…let me tell you, these might just be my new favorite muffin.

They’re SO simple to make, but have so much flavor. Especially when you use kind of big chocolate chips so that every bite is just filled with warm melted chocolate.

Oh, and the best part? These muffins take like 5-8 minutes to mix up, bake in 20-25 minutes, and are ready to eat as soon as they cool just a tad (i’m a sucker for fresh out of the oven muffins!!).

They’re so quick, so easy, and require minimal dishes. If you’re in need of a delicious muffin for this Fall, you NEED these pumpkin chocolate chip muffins!

Expert Tips

• Be careful to not over-mix the batter.
• To ensure even-sized muffins, use a large cookie scoop!
• Bake times may vary depending on how your oven bakes. You can use a cake tester or a toothpick to see when the muffins are done!
• If you don’t have cupcake papers, you can grease the muffin pan.
