Ingredients
Scale
- 12 tablespooons unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until it turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cooled butter with the brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, milk, and pumpkin puree, and whisk until everything is well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined (avoid overmixing).
- Stir in the chocolate chips, then let the batter rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full, and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for another 17 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
