How to Make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
STEP 1: Make sure eggs are at room temperature before mixing them into the batter. I noticed that this helps with the rising of the muffins when they bake.
STEP 2: Whisk the wet ingredients together in a medium bowl.
STEP 3: Carefully stir in the dry ingredients with a spatula. Don’t overmix – you’ll want to see some streaks of the flour and cacao powder. At this point, stir in the chocolate chips.
STEP 4: Let the batter sit for at least 20 minutes. This helps with the rising of the muffins when they bake.
STEP 5: Bake for 20-22 minutes and remove to continue baking for 10 minutes in the muffin tins before removing to cool on a wired rack.
These are pretty simple to make. All you need is one bowl and a muffin tin, either a jumbo 6-hole muffin tin or a medium 12-hole muffin tin.
