Ingredients
1 cup pumpkin purée

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup white chocolate chips plus extra for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, brown sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Add the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to the bowl. Stir until just combined.
4. Fold in the white chocolate chips, saving a few for the tops.
5. Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
6. Sprinkle the reserved white chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
7. Bake for 20 to 23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter once you add the flour—stir until just combined.
Use good quality white chocolate chips for the best melt and flavor.
These muffins stay moist for days—store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
