Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins combine the perfectly pumpkin spiced muffin batter with a smooth and rich flavor of dark chocolate morsels. Have these with a cup of tea or coffee for the morning, afternoon, or evening treat!
This is a fun spin on my Pumpkin Molasses Muffins, I think the added touch of the chocolate makes these extra delicious.
While I love anything pumpkin spiced during the Fall, I truly can enjoy a pumpkin treat just about any time of the year. That warm blend of the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger are one of my favorite flavor combinations…no need to wait until September to enjoy that!
If you’ve stocked up on some canned pumpkin you can also try my Pumpkin Pancakes, I make these often and my toddler absolutely loves them! And for a pumpkin recipe that’s not a dessert try this Pumpkin Sauce Pasta!

Making these muffins is as easy as 1…2…3!
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and the wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
- Then combine the wet and dry ingredients together and stir in the dark chocolate morsels.
- Fill the muffin tins and bake!
Even if you don’t bake often this is an easy pumpkin muffin you’ll be able to whip up.
I definitely recommend using dark chocolate chips for these! Trust me, the dark chocolate flavor is the perfect combination with the nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. Semi-sweet chips just won’t get the same depth of flavor!
You can use muffin liners like these polka dot ones I used, or just use cooking spray to prepare the pan and bake them without liners. I made them both ways and they come out perfect with or without liners!
Not only are these one of my favorite muffins, but these are toddler approved too!
My little one absolutely loves these, which is a big win for me!

- Method: Baking
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 large eggs
1 15oz can pumpkin puree
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons molasses
1 cup dark chocolate morsels (plus a few more to add to the tops of the muffins)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup white sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, 3 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of cloves. Use a whisk to make sure everything is combined, and make sure the brown sugar has mixed in evenly and you don’t have any clumps.
- In a separate large or medium bowl, lightly whisk 2 eggs, then stir in the 15oz can of pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup oil, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and the 2 tablespoons of molasses. Stir until everything has blended together.
- Next, pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture and stir until the wet batter has formed. Don’t over mix, just stir it enough until no more dry flour mixture is visible. Add in the dark chocolate morsels and stir so they are incorporated throughout the batter.
- Grease your muffin tins or line with paper muffin holders, spoon the muffin batter into each muffin holder and fill 3/4 of the way high. Try and make sure that each muffin has an even amount of chocolate morsels. If you’d like, you can also add 2 or 3 extra morsels to the top of the muffin before baking. Bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before enjoying!
