Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe Tips

Whether you’re looking to add a festive touch to your morning routine or you’re simply in the mood for something seasonal, these pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are the perfect treat. But while they may be delicious, they can also be tricky to make. Here are a few tips to help you get the perfect muffins every time.

  • Start with a good quality pumpkin puree. This will make all the difference in the flavor and texture of your muffins.
  • Be careful not to over-mix the batter. Over-mixing can result in tough, dry muffins.
  • Add the chocolate chips in at the end so that they don’t sink to the bottom of the muffin cup.
  • Use a scoop or spoon to evenly divide the batter into the muffin cups. This will help ensure that your muffins are all the same.
  • This recipe can also be adapted into a pumpkin chocolate chip bread or mini pumpkin chocolate chip muffins instead if you like. (If you make mini muffins, you may have to adjust your baking time.)
  • The brand of liners does not matter, but in my experience you can apply a small amount of cooking spray to your paper liners before adding your batter. Your liners will can be easily pulled away and none of the muffin goodness of the best pumpkin chocolate chip muffins will be left on the wrapper. You don’t want to miss out on any of the yumminess.

How to store your moist pumpkin chocolate chip muffins:

  • Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. But beware, they will not last that long! They never do at my house.
  • You can also freeze any leftovers you may have in ziplock bag for any time of day. Thaw it overnight and heat it up in the morning.
