  • Line 2 12-cup muffin tins with cupcake liners and set aside. (Note: a lot of users seem to get 30 - 36 muffins out of this recipe, which is great! But you may need to plan your muffin pans accordingly.)
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer. Mix in sugar, pumpkin, oil, and applesauce.
  • In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Blend into pumpkin mixture until just combined.
  • Add chocolate chips and mix.
  • Transfer to muffin tins (a ¼ cup cookie scoop or measuring cup works great).
  • Bake 15-20 minutes (18 is perfect for me) or until a knife comes out clean. Cool slightly in pans then transfer to wire racks.

Notes

  • Storing baked goods featuring pumpkin can be a little tricky. See our "Storage & Other Tips" section for tips!
