Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves
  • 4 eggs
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup oil
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350; line muffin tin with liners or spray with cooking oil. This recipe will make 36-40 muffins.
  • Begin by adding all of the dry ingredients to a bowl and set it to the side. Stir to combine.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture already in the bowl and mix until you can't see any flour.
  • Split the batter evenly between two bowls. In one bowl, mix in the cocoa powder and ¼ cup of chocolate chips until uniform.
  • Begin by spooning a less than 1 tablespoon of the pumpkin batter into each muffin liner and then adding 1 tablespoon chocolate batter on top. Repeat until your bowl of muffin batter is gone.
  • Carefully mix the batters with a knife two times; overdoing this will ruin the swirl, don't overmix. Gently shake your muffin pan to level out the batter, then top it off with the remaining chocolate chips.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until a tester comes out clean. Mine were perfect at 22 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
