The first time I made the maple pumpkin doughnut loaf, it was love at first bite. So much love, in fact, that I made it again the next day, and the day after that. By day three, I was looking for variations on my new favorite dessert and threw in a handful of chocolate chips. The day after that, I wanted a portable slice, and baked them up in a muffin pan. The result was so good I can’t help but share—these muffins are fluffy, moist, and chocolatey. Basically, the perfect fall treat.

Cook Mode

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon mace
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
1/3 cup maple syrup
½ cup chocolate chips, plus more for garnish

For the crumble

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon mace
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup canola oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners (if necessary).
Stir the flour, baking powder, baking soda, mace, cinnamon, and salt together. Set aside.
Using a stand or hand mixer (or just a whisk), mix together the eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla, pumpkin, and maple syrup in a large bowl.
Stir the dry mix to the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Whisk together all of the crumble ingredients except the canola oil in a medium bowl. Add the canola oil one teaspoon at a time until the crumble holds together in small balls.
Pour the batter into the muffin pan. Top with extra chocolate chips and the crumble.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of one of the muffins comes out clean.
