Ingredients
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
3/4 cup white chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.
4. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping.
5. Spoon batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Top with reserved white chocolate chips.
6. Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter; it keeps the muffins light and fluffy.
Store in an airtight container at room temp for 3 days or freeze for 2 months.
Swap white chocolate for dark or add chopped nuts for variation.
