Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup whole milk buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips + additional for topping the muffins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and spray a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick baking spray. You can also use cupcake liners.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients (flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, salt)
- Cream the butter and sugars together in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer or in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed for three minutes.
- Beat in the eggs on low speed one at a time.
- Add the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula if needed.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to your wet ingredients with the mixer set to low speed until fully incorporated then stir in the chocolate chips.
- Using a large cookie scoop, scoop your muffin batter into your muffin pan. Each cup should be about 3/4 full.
- Top each individual muffin with 4-5 chocolate chips. Just press them gently into the batter so they remain visible on top.
- Bake muffins for 5 minutes at 425 degrees, then rotate the pan and reduce your oven temperature to 350 degrees.
- Bake muffins for an additional 18 minutes, remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes more to finish.
Notes
- It is ok to substitute regular whole milk for the whole milk buttermilk if you prefer!
