Uhm, okay, I’m finally into pumpkin season now. Just a couple weeks ago, I shared about this moist pumpkin brownie on my Instastory which I seriously thought that’s the best brownie ever. Super moist, decadent, and one of a kind (until it collapsed because my hand could not handle the heat after took a shot and a bite). So, I thought it’s time to share a pumpkin recipe with you finally. But before we’ve gone too far, what is:
- something moist
- so delicious
- filled with chocolates. I’m talking about double chocolate pumpkin here so yeah!
- easy to make. Seriously easy-to-follow recipe
- NOT A SALAD. I don’t know about you but when the Fall season hits, I feel it’s also time for something sweet
DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN MUFFINS. Yep, this is by far the best chocolate pumpkin muffin according to me (and you, too). So what makes these muffins special?
What are the ingredients to make these double chocolate pumpkin muffins?
First, you combine all the dry ingredients, such as granulated sugar, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cocoa powder, and of course, chocolate chips.
As for the wet ingredient, you will need vegetable oil or coconut oil, water, and pumpkin puree.
How do you make double chocolate pumpkin muffins?
Once you have gathered all your ingredients, you will need a large bowl to combine all your items then mix it well. Then, scoop the batter into a muffin pan and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes at 400F. And that my friends, is how you make the best chocolate pumpkin muffins.
Do you add pumpkin pie spice in this recipe?
While I’m not a fan of pumpkin pie spice (sorry, PSL lovers) but I don’t see why especially if you’re a fan; however, try not to add more than 1 teaspoon since we have added nutmeg and cinnamon in this pumpkin recipe.
Keep it simple with this shortcut recipe. Instead of measuring your flour and the rest of the ingredients, simply combine 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree with 1 box chocolate cake mix and 1 cup dark chocolate chips. Pour the batter into a muffin tin and bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes at 400F. Easy peasy!
What can I use to substitute chocolate chips?
Easy enough. Nutella always does the trick! Yep, Nutella swirl pumpkin muffins are also a perfect holiday treat.
