How to Make Pumpkin Chip Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup honey, and 1/4 cup water.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips.
  6. Fill the prepared muffin cups ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. **For the Cream Cheese Frosting:** In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  10. Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add more powdered sugar, if needed, to reach desired consistency.
  11. Frost the cooled cupcakes and enjoy!
