OCTOBER IS FINALLY HERE!! Which means PUMPKIN EVERYTHING!! Okay, maybe not, but I can break out all the pumpkin recipes and not feel so bad about rushing into October! This really does feel like Fall now AND your kitchen will thank you for it because the smell of pumpkin spice anything baking is one of the best smells in the world. It gives me such a warm feeling.
These are THE perfect muffins to start your Fall baking. Seriously. Chocolate chunks in every bite of this muffin. It’s also not too sweet. The pumpkin spice gives it that warm, earthy taste, and the chocolate rounds out the sweetness. The pumpkin puree makes these muffins SO moist.
Do me a favor, will ya? Go make these. Now!
Well, you might need some pumpkin spice first, so get that going and then whip up a batch of these. Your mouth will love you, and whomever else you decide to share these with :)

Silly question, but I’ve never baked with pumpkin before. Can you buy pumpkin puree or do you have to make it. I wasn’t sure if it was the stuff people use to make pumpkin pies.
I want these now…although I won’t be able to taste it so ill wait til I’m not sick anymore then ill have some. Seriously they look amazing. Perfect “break in” for pumpkin treats. Yum!
You can buy pumpkin puree – I use Libby, this is what it looks like: http://www.verybestbaking.com/Libbys/Products/PurePumpkin15oz.aspx. Do not buy the pumpkin pie filling! That’s only for pumpkin pie :)
bring on the pumpkin recipes!! These look so good!
[...] Table for Two’s recipe yields muffins that are richly flavored with pumpkin puree, speckled with spices, and studded with chocolate in every bite. At this point, the workweek might look like it’s stretching endlessly into the distance, but we feel confident that whipping up a batch of these babies tonight will speed things up — and might just win you the Coworker of the Year award if you share the results with your office mates. But, then again, we can’t blame you if choose to eat them all yourself. Get the full recipe over at Table for Two. [...]
Love the pumpkin chocolate chip combo! Just made some pumpkin choc chip cupcakes myself!:)
Don’t pumpkin and chocolate just go together perfectly? These look perfectly delicious to me.
Oooh This looks delish and brings back memories, I’ve made pumpkin muffins before but with dark chocolate chunks :)
Bring on the pumpkin and chocolaty goodness! Best part about this season :)
One can never have too many muffin recipes. And if that muffin contains chocolate chunks, that makes it a thousand times better!
I too love all things pumpkin, especially Libby’s pumpkin roll up. My kids and grandkids know i only offer sweets with redeming values – carrot cake, oatmeal cookies,chocolate zuchinni cake, and now THIS one, pumpkin muffins with chocolate chips…amazing idea and good for you too! LOL
I love how you lost no time is bringing out the pumpkins! It has been warm here in Portland, but cool at night finally. I feel like this weekend the baking may need to start again and I cannot wait! Have a great trip and enjoy our beautiful weather, its kinda perfect right now!
I just bought enough pumpkin at Costco to get me through to next fall…or who am I kidding, probably enough to last me until next week with the way that I love anything and everything pumpkin. This recipe is now on my must make list.
These look so delicious!! Can we add oatmeal?
Yes, you can.
could this recipe be used for a loaf pan instead of muffins?
Sure!
I just made these and they are so delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
