Hi, do you have time and temperature recommendations to make these as mini muffins (without chocolate if that changes anything).

Made them last night, very good. I’m not a big fan of chocolate in muffins so like another commenter, I think I will use walnuts instead next time. BTW, found your site searching for a breakfast sausage & gravy recipe, which was also so easy and delicious. I am now a follower! I very rarely use a mix for anything, I think from scratch is just as easy and so much better. Thank you!

Girlll these are delicious.

My friend doesn’t like pumpkin, but he came into the kitchen as these muffins were cooling, and decided just by the smell and look of them that he DID like pumpkin 🙂 And sure enough, his response was, WOW. They were delicious.

I doubled the recipe, because 12 muffins go way too fast.

I used regular plain yogurt (not greek like you mentioned in the video), and they still seem great.

As for appearance, my muffin tops flattened instead of looking perfectly lifted like yours, but I think that’s because I live at a really high elevation (6,000 ft) AND also my oven is gas, and every time I open the oven (even just to put the muffins in initially), the temp drops drastically. Bummer, but the taste is still there.

Thanks, you’re a gift 🙂

In reply to Alicia. Thanks for the sweet review, Alicia! Love the idea of using nuts instead of chocolate chips. Enjoy :)

Another perfected recipe, Sam! I made them for a meeting I had yesterday and they were roundly LOVED. So simple, but perfectly delicious. Personally, next time I’ll use pecans or walnuts instead of the chocolate chips, but that’s only because I prefer a break in the sweetness and I appreciate the different texture. But I know that’s an unpopular opinion, and has nothing to do with a flaw in the recipe (which is flawless)!

Special recipe. Really amazing. I just put spekulatius spices with cinnamon and ginger and half of sugar. With chocolate, they are so gourmands Your videos are always great Thank you

Do you have temperature and bake time recommendations to bake these at jumbo muffins?

In reply to Anne. Hi Anne! No need to blot the pumpkin here. I would make sure to put that in the instructions if it's needed. :)

Do I need to blot the excess moisture out of the pumpkin puree before making these? I know that’s important for pumpkin cookies but I wasn’t sure about pumpkin muffins!

I can’t rate these just yet because I’m about to make them for the first time, but I came here for a recipe because I know it’ll be great. I have never seen a bad recipe from you. You’re my absolute first resource when I have a need for a delicious recipe. I’ll come back and leave my rating, which I’m sure will be 5 stars.

The garden provided many sugar pumpkins this year, so I’m cooking and baking with tons of pumpkin. This is the second pumpkin chocolate chip muffin recipe I’ve tried, and it’s perfect! The kids love it too! 🙂
