- Preheat your oven to 340°F (170°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease the cups.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened butter, milk, and one egg. Use a fork to lightly beat the egg, then stir in the melted butter and milk until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined-don't overmix, or the muffins may turn out dense.
- Fold in the pumpkin puree until the batter is smooth.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Place a piece of dark chocolate (or add chocolate chips) on top of each muffin, leaving it on the surface so it melts while baking.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Moist Pumpkin Muffins! They're great for breakfast, a healthy snack with coffee, or a dessert with some vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Pumpkin Puree: Start with high-quality pumpkin puree. If you're using canned or homemade, please ensure it's well-drained to remove excess moisture. The pumpkin adds moisture, natural sweetness, and a rich flavor to your muffins. Even though I don't like using canned fruits or veggies, I make an exception regarding pumpkin puree. I usually buy them at Whole Foods. Proper Mixing: When combining your wet and dry ingredients, mix them until they are just incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough and dry muffins. It's okay if there are a few lumps in the batter; they usually disappear during baking. Don't Overbake: Overbaking is a common mistake resulting in dry muffins. Follow the recommended baking time in your recipe, but also use the toothpick test. Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, they're done. Remove them from the oven promptly to prevent overcooking. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure ingredients like eggs, butter, and milk are at room temperature before mixing. This helps them incorporate more evenly into the batter, improving the texture
