Ingredients:

  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 0.33 cup neutral oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.75 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease them thoroughly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1.75 cups all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until combined.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the pumpkin puree, neutral oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and velvety.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold together and stop immediately when you no longer see streaks of white flour; the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
  5. In a small bowl, toss the white chocolate chips with 1 tbsp of all-purpose flour, then gently fold the chips into the batter using three or four slow turns.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the 12 muffin liners.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until the muffins are set and a toothpick comes out clean.
