The pumpkin chocolate chip muffins at Mel's Kitchen Cafe inspired this recipe that is certain to be a mainstay in our collection of pumpkin recipes.
The reasons I LOVE this recipe so much include:
- You can mix up these babies in one bowl! Yay.
- The ingredients are EASY and you probably already have them in your cupboard.
- They have the perfect amount of sweetness.
- They are so pretty to give as gifts during the holidays.
- Everyone loves pumpkin muffins.
- They make me think of Fall and that makes me happy.
Ingredients you will need:
- All-purpose flour
- Sugar
- Pumpkin Pie Spice
- Baking Soda
- Baking Powder
- Kosher Salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 15 ½ oz can of pumpkin puree
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
How to make pumpkin chocolate chip muffins?
- In one large mixing bowl, add all of the ingredients.
- Mix all of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips until you do not see white from the dry ingredients.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Using an ice cream scooper, fill each cupcake holder ⅔ full.
- Place in preheated to 350-degree oven and cook for 18 minutes.
- Cool and serve.
Tips for these chocolate chip pumpkin muffins:
- Instead of softened butter, you can melt the stick of butter for quicker prep time.
- The original recipe calls for 9 oz of pumpkin puree, but using the whole 15 ½ oz can yields more muffins and a richer pumpkin flavor. If you only have 9 oz of pumpkin puree, the recipe will still be delicious.
- Do not over-mix. Once the white from the dry ingredients disappear, stop stirring. Over stirring will yield a denser muffin.

You should make these today. You'll be in a festive Fall mood if you do.
Now, I need to buy more pumpkins for my front porch. Happy Fall!
