1cupsemi-sweet chocolate chips(plus extra for the top of muffins)
raw sugar(optional to sprinkle on top)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line muffin tins with paper liners. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients.
Add in the egg, vegetable oil, and pumpkin puree. Stir gently until you see no more dry ingredients.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Fill each muffin liner ¾ full in each muffin tin. For big muffin tops, fill them all the way to the top.
If you want bakery style muffins, add a few chocolate chips on top before baking. You can also dust the batter with raw sugar if desired.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. The more filling added, the longer it will take.
Cool muffins in muffin tin pan until they're not too hot to touch, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
