Calories 274kcal
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2/4 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup water
- 1 ½ cups a/p flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips divided
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with paper muffin liners and set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, cream together eggs and both sugars.
- Add oil, pumpkin puree and water. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated with one another.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
- Slowly add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix thoroughly. Pour half of the batter into a small bowl.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt ½ cup chocolate chips in 30 second intervals. Pour into one of the bowls of batter. Add cocoa powder to the pumpkin batter and chocolate mixture. Mix thoroughly.
- Fold the chocolate and pumpkin batter back into the other pumpkin batter, taking care you don’t mix both but instead, create a “marble effect.”
- Scoop batter into each section of the muffin pan – filling them about ¾ of the way. Use the remaining ½ cup chocolate chips to top off each muffin.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean once inserted in the center. Allow to cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
This Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins Recipe is also very easy to double in case you need to make a larger patch for a bigger crowd. Or, you could make them into mini muffins if that suits your needs. You may just need to adjust the cooking time a bit to make sure they don’t get overdone.
