Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 8 tablespoons butter or coconut oil melted
  • 1/4 cup milk whole milk or your favorite dairy-free option
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and line 12 muffin tins with parchment paper or silicone baking cups.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Add the pumpkin, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the bowl and beat with a mixer for 1-2 minutes, until fully combined.
  • Mix the milk into the batter, then stir in the pecans and chocolate chips until evenly incorporated.
