Finally. A pumpkin recipe.
It’s been a long time coming, eh?
(Yes I am Canadian, and yes we do say eh. What of it?)
I may be the biggest advocate for eating chocolate for breakfast. Heck, my last post was brownie oatmeal. I mean, can you think of a better way to start your day with a smile? (Think Nutella Pancakes)
But now, we are featuring pumpkin.
What you need to make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
- all purpose & whole wheat flour (or only all-purpose)
- baking powder
- baking soda
- cinnamon
- all-spice
- nutmeg
- ginger
- salted butter
- white sugar
- vanilla extract
- eggs
- pumpkin puree
- chocolate chips
I can’t believe the last time I made something with pumpkin was in July. What is wrong with me? This is the season to be drowning everything in pumpkin!
Will you forgive me with these pumpkin muffins? It has been my on-the-go breakfast for the past week. Man, I can’t wait until the lazy days of the holidays. Until then, I have these.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground all spice
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
- 1 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, then add the pumpkin and mix until fully combined.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and water to the flour mixture until fully incorporated.
- Fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips then fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the tops of the batter with the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips then bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.

I can eat anything pumpkin all year long, plus chocolate and pumpkin really are amazing together.
Right?? I love it!! Thanks 🙂
I am currently hibernating from the cold and snow, and so muffins and cakes that fill my kitchen with delicious smells are my jam!
They are so warm and cozy 🙂
I love pumpkin muffins! They come out so moist and full of flavor. The more chocolate chips the better!
Agree about the chocolate chips 100%
Pumpkin and chocolate are a delicious combination of flavors. These are perfect for me and my family, thank you!
Thanks Jacque! It is one of my favourites 😉
Pumpkin in July and December but not in between? That is crazy! I love pumpkin so much (also a basic bitch but who cares right), and these breakfast muffins look perfect! Will thaw some homemade pumpkin puree and make them asap.
Omg yay! I can’t get enough of it 🙂
I love pumpkin all year round and it sounds perfect in muffins! Love that I can have chocolate for breakfast with these muffins too!
I love pumpkin lattes, these muffins look so good, Cathleen!
Breakfast muffins are the best! You can grab them and go and they go perfectly with coffee. Also these are pumpkin – *swoon*
I'm all for pumpkin any time of year! And my family would love an excuse to each chocolate for breakfast, too 🙂
If I could keep eating these muffins, I totally would 😀
Perfect for breakfast!

I am craaazy about ginger, so I wholeheartedly approve of this, though I would probably add more ginger, because…YUM!
Also, I love how the pumpkin gives the muffins such a lovely flavour. And that you say eh, nothing wrong with that 😀 I have never heard the term basic bitch, what is this world coming too? Nah, enjoy your pumpkin spiced lattes like a classy lassie, I say! 🙂 Thanks for sharing this recipe 😀 x
This is the second post (this morning) I have read about chocolate for breakfast. Why am I always the last to know? GREG
Can't find pumpkin after Hallowen over here…:-(( These muffins look so good!
LOL, i didn`t realize that had become a thing, either!
At least this pumpkin trend is a very tasty one! Plus, hello, i`ll eat anything sweet for breakfast. 😛
"Basic bitch" has a wikipedia article? Wow. I guess there really is a wikipedia for everything these days. TBH there's nothing wrong with embracing trends..especially pumpkin. Because these muffins look delicious. 🙂
