Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:20 Preheat oven to 425F (220C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
00:30 In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, oil, sugars, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract and whisk vigorously until smooth and thoroughly combined.
02:50 In a separate, medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
03:43 Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until mostly combined. Add chocolate chips and continue to stir until batter is uniform and chips are well distributed through the batter (do not overmix).
04:37 Evenly divide batter into prepared muffin tin, sprinkle tops with additional chocolate chips, if desired.
05:27 Transfer to center rack of 425F (220C) preheated oven and bake for 9 minutes then, without opening the oven door, reduce oven temperature to 350F and continue to bake another 12 minutes or until muffins are cooked through and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
06:03 Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5-8 minutes before carefully removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes
Storing
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Muffins may also be wrapped and frozen for up to 3 months.

Good morning Sam, do you have a good pumpkin bread recipe?

[LORENAMONGE]

Made half the recipe, baking rn, and I already know they’re going to be delicious. I hope you can make deals with the brands of spatulas and whisks you use so you can add them to your list. I’m on the market to replace my very old ones, but haven’t found worthy replacements; just disappointment and waste of time and money. But anyway, thank you for sharing your hard work with us.

[nicoleschlossberg]

Is there an appropriate way to cut the sugar in half in this muffin without cutting any of the other ingredients?

[LauraBadolato]

Hi Sam how are you I’m Laura I hope you are doing well I’m going to make this

[Lettuce-and-Tomatoes]

I never knew that two handfuls of brown sugar equal a half of a cup. I look forward to using this technique to measure all sorts of other dry ingredients from now on. Do you know how many handfuls of water equal a half of a cup? I’m throwing away all of my measuring cups after watching this video. Cooking will be so much easier now. Thank you!!! ✊🏻
