Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a 12-cup muffin tin and give it a little love by greasing it or lining it with paper liners—this will make your muffins easy to pop out later.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until everything is well blended.

4. Step 4

   Next, stir in the brown sugar, ensuring it’s evenly mixed in for that sweet touch.

5. Step 5

   Now, create a little well in the center of your dry ingredients.

6. Step 6

   Into this well, add the pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, sour cream, and a splash of vanilla extract.

7. Step 7

   Gently mix everything together until just combined—remember, we want to keep it tender, so don’t overdo it! Fold in three-quarters of a cup of chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.

8. Step 8

   Now it’s time to fill those muffin cups! Spoon the batter evenly into each one, and for a delightful finishing touch, sprinkle the remaining quarter cup of chocolate chips on top of each muffin.

9. Step 9

   Pop the muffin tin into your preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes.

10. Step 10

    You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops spring back when you give them a gentle press.

11. Step 11

    Once they’re done, let the muffins cool in the tin for about five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

12. Step 12

    Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you anticipate the deliciousness that awaits!.
