Tips + tricks
No. 1 --> Make sure you're buying enough pumpkin. Most of the chocolate chip pumpkin muffin recipes call for a 15 oz can. No. Just no. Get that big ass can. Let's get some pumpkin action happening. We need 29oz (or the 796ml ones for the Canadians!)
No. 3 --> The yield for this recipe is ~34 standard sized muffins and ~17 jumbo muffins.

Ingredients
- eggs
- granulated sugar
- pumpkin puree
- vegetable / canola oil
- all purpose flour
- baking soda
- baking powder
- pumpkin pie spice
- salt
- white chocolate chips
- semi sweet chocolate chunks
How to make
- Preheat the oven to 400f. Prepare muffin tins by greasing or lining with paper cups, set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt, set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until completely combined. Then add oil, sugar, and pumpkin, one at a time and beating well after each addition.
- Slowly add the flour mixture in batches to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each batch is added.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and the chocolate chunks.
- Scoop the batter into prepared muffin tins, I like to use my trigger scooper. One scoop is perfect for standard muffins and two is the right quantity for oversized muffins.
- Bake the muffins at 400f for 18-20 minutes for standard-sized muffins and 25-30 minutes for oversized muffins. The muffins are done when a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the centre of the muffin comes out clean.
- Remove the chocolate chip pumpkin muffins from the baking tin and cool on a wire cooling rack for at least a few minutes before you dive in! The wrapper on the muffins peels off much more cleanly if the muffins are cooled.

Muffin Scooper - Ok. To be honest, it's a triggered ice cream scooper, but it's literally the perfect portions for muffins, one scoop makes a standard muffin and two scoops make a jumbo muffin. It's also great for meatballs!
Muffin tins - Everyone should have at least one standard size muffin tin in their arsenal, I have two because most recipes make ~24 muffins! Jumbo muffin tins are a little more niche, but sometimes, a gal just wants a jumbo muffin.
