Ingredients
  

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Optional: Whipped cream or cream cheese frosting for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until fully combined and smooth.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until evenly distributed.

        Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if a few lumps remain.

          Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Fill Cupcake Liners: Evenly divide the batter among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full to allow for rising.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool: Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Frost (Optional): If desired, top cooled cupcakes with whipped cream or cream cheese frosting before serving.

                    Enjoy! Serve the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcakes at room temperature and enjoy the delightful combination of warm spices and gooey chocolate.
