How to Make Pumpkin Or Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 large eggs, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree (or sweet potato puree), ½ cup vegetable oil, and ½ cup milk (optional) until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips (optional).
  6. Fill the muffin cups ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
