There’s nothing like a good muffin. Especially when that muffin is studded with chocolate chips.
But let’s take this one step further. Let’s play a would you rather.
Would you rather have your muffin with chocolate chips, or with giant semi-sweet chocolate chips?
I kind of have a feeling you chose giant chocolate chips. Because I getchu.
That’s why I’m SO excited about these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins made with Ghirardelli’s Grand Chip. The Grand Chip is Ghirardelli’s largest baking chip ever, and I just have to say: thank you, Ghirardelli, for making this giant chocolate chip.
They work so well in these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins, their chocolatey goodness coming through in each and every bite. I’ve also used the grand chip in chocolate chip cookies and it makes for an extra chocolatey cookie, which I’m never going to complain about.
And let’s talk about the pumpkin muffins themselves. I just love this recipe, because so often I find muffins can be so dry. So the addition of pumpkin puree gives these muffins a wonderful moistness.
To really bring out that pumpkin flavor, I used cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. I also love adding a little ginger into the mix when I’m feeling extra. Sometimes cardamom too. ALL THE FALL SPICES.
Last, I’m SO excited to announce I’m doing an epic Instagram giveaway with Ghirardelli, giving away a holiday baking kit full of premium baking goodies valued at over $250! Click here to enter the giveaway, and good luck!

Finishing sugar, for topping the muffins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 12 muffin cups with muffin liners and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
Incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet, stirring until well combined. Fold in the Grand Chips. Sprinkle with finishing sugar, if using.
Scoop batter into prepared muffin tins, filing just over ⅔ of the way. Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then turn oven to 375°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving!

Since I first found this recipe a few months ago, it’s become one of my “go to” favorites. I just served these for an in-person board meeting (our first in 15 months) and as always, they were a hit. I’ve made them 6 or times. Things to note: As others mentioned, the recipe has a few mistakes. Preheat to 425 degrees, NOT 400 degrees. Also, the recipe says to “sprinkle with finishing sugar, if using” in Step 3. But that’s wrong. You FILL the muffin cups (or cupcake liners), and THEN top with the finishing sugar. It makes no sense otherwise, and that’s how you get a bit of that sparkly, carmelized finish on top. I use Bob’s Red Mill Coarse Turbinado Sugar for that finishing touch. I also like to mix milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate ones. Ratios vary – today I used 1 cup semi-sweet and 1/2 cup milk chocolate. I also toss in a few extra …
These are great and I’m making my second batch with the addition of some toasted pecans and candied ginger BUT could you please edit the recipe itself to reflect the correct preheat temp? Kind of annoying only to read in the comments after I had my muffins in the oven the first time around. Thanks!

Made these for Sunday brunch with coffee. They were such a hit: I had to make more for the wife to take to work at the hospital.

I made these and used King Arther gluten free baking mix. Turned out excellent.
