If you love the taste of pumpkin and chocolate, then you’ll love this pumpkin chocolate chip muffins recipe. This recipe calls for coconut oil which makes it a healthier option!

How to bake Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Generously grease all 12 cups of your muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.

I use my favorite pumpkin pan to add a little extra festive touch to my pumpkin chocolate chip muffins recipe. I love how this pan creates little mini pumpkins!

The next step is to beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl.

After the eggs and sugar are mixed, add the pumpkin puree. After the pumpkin is mixed in, I add the coconut oil.

If the coconut oil is in solid form, scoop out the exact amount needed and place directly in your mixture.

Place all the dry ingredients: flour, spices, soda, salt together in a bowl and gently mix. This allows all the spices to be distributed evenly.

After that, add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix, just until combined (a few lumps are just fine).

The mixture should be thick at this point.

Gently fold in the chocolate chips. The combination of chocolate and pumpkin is so good!

The chocolate chips melt and add a warm chocolatey sweetness to the muffins.

Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups, or until muffin cups are 3/4 filled.

Cooking Temperatures

Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.

I like to place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool for about 5 minutes. These are very moist and a few minutes in the pan allows them to hold their shape for later.

Storing

How to Store

These muffins can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

How to Reheat

Place the unwrapped muffin on a paper towel, paper plate, or plate and microwave on high for 30 seconds.

I love when my house smells wonderful with scents of pumpkin and cinnamon!

My kids will be getting off the bus and home from school any minute and I guarantee they will head straight to the kitchen for one of these wonderful muffins! I can’t wait to surprise them with a homemade favorite treat after school.
