Ingredients

  • 150 grams all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon*
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp cloves
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 150 grams light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 60 mL olive oil
  • 227 pumpkin puree
  • 170 grams chopped milk chocolate, or milk chocolate chips**

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F (218C) convetion (400F/204C) conventional and line 12 muffin tins
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and allspice (or just pumpkin spice, if using).
    150 grams all-purpose flour spooned and leveled, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp cinnamon*, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp cloves, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp allspice
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, olive oil and pumpkin until they’re completely smooth. 
    2 large eggs, 150 grams light brown sugar lightly packed, 60 mL olive oil, 227 pumpkin puree
  4. Fold in the dry ingredients just until they’re barely incorporated and there’s still a few streaks of flour left. 
  5. Fold in the chocolate chunks, reserving a few for the tops, just until they’re evenly distributed.
    170 grams chopped milk chocolate or milk chocolate chips**
  6. Distribute the batter evenly among the 12 muffin tins, about 2.5oz per muffin. 
  7. Bake the muffins at 425F (218C) for 5 minutes, then lower the heat to 350F (177C) and bake for another 8-10 minutes, until the muffin springs back when you press on it. 
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before removing. 

Notes

*you can use 2-3 tsp of pumpkin spice in place of all the spices. 
**if you use milk chocolate chips instead of chopped chocolate, the muffins may be done baking 1-2 minutes sooner.
