Ingredients
  

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well-combined.

      Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy—this is perfect for muffins!

          Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and, if using, the chopped nuts. This adds texture and a lovely crunch.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few melted chocolate bits are okay!).

                Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delightful treats warm or at room temperature.
