Happy weekend friends! I’ve got an extra bonus recipe for you this weekend – I know I don’t normally post on weekends but these Best Ever Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are just too good to keep to myself. I’ve been making them at least a couple times a month since fall began and they’re always a HUGE hit with my family and friends!

These Best Ever Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins truly are the best ever – they’re perfectly crispy on the outside, super fluffy on the inside, they’ve got the perfect amount of sweetness, and they’re packed with mini chocolate chips! My kids love them as a treat and my husband can’t get enough of them!

How to make perfect muffins

1. Don’t overmix the batter! This is my TOP TIP for the perfect fluffy muffins! If you’re left with muffins that are closer in texture to hockey pucks, it’s almost certainly because you mixed the batter too vigorously and for too long. Be gentle with the batter once you add the dry ingredients and stir only until the flour just barely disappears. Use a wooden spoon and mix by hand to avoid over-mixing. Making muffins with a stand mixer or a hand mixer almost ALWAYS ensures you’ll over-mix, so making them by hand is the way to go!!
2. Bake quickly! The leavening agent in muffins is usually baking powder (sometimes with baking soda), which acts quickly as soon as the liquid and dry ingredients come together. To get fluffy muffins with the nice dome shape on top, get them in the oven as fast as you can after mixing.
3. Let them cool! No one likes a gummy muffin that’s underdone on the inside. Let the muffins cool until they’re almost room temperature before digging in, since they continue baking on the inside even after they’ve been removed from the oven.
4. Add in your favourite things! Like chocolate chips? Throw in a handful (or three)! Nuts, dried fruit and chocolate make great add-ins to your favourite muffin recipes. Usually 3/4 cup of add-ins for a 12-muffin recipe is a good ration to follow.
