Ingredients
- 2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour

- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground nutmeg

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together, then set aside.
In a separate large bowl, combine the eggs, pumpkin, and melted butter. Beat on low speed until just combined. Gradually beat in the dry ingredients, just until moistened. Do not overmix.

Servings
Yields: 12 muffins.
Storage and Reheating
Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze individually for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw frozen muffins at room temperature or microwave for 15-20 seconds. For a warm, fresh-baked taste, reheat in a 325°F oven for 5-10 minutes until heated through.
Holly’s Tips for The Best White Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins:
- Use Pumpkin Puree: Use plain canned pumpkin puree for the best flavor and consistency.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can make the muffins dense and tough, so stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Room Temperature Is Best: Soften the eggs and butter beforehand to help the batter blend smoothly and create a softer and moist muffin.
- Measure Flour Carefully: Too much flour can dry out your muffins, so spoon it into the cup and level it off.
- Add Mix-ins Last: Fold in white chocolate chips at the end to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
- Check For Doneness Early: Oven temperatures vary, so start checking muffins at 18 minutes with a toothpick for a perfectly baked center.
- Customizable Mix-ins: Add chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or dark chocolate chips to the batter to complement the pumpkin and white chocolate.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Yes! You can absolutely make White Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins ahead of time. Bake the muffins as directed, let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Make White Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins dairy-free by substituting the melted butter with dairy-free butter or coconut oil and using dairy-free or vegan white chocolate chips. If the recipe calls for milk, you can replace it with unsweetened almond, oat, or soy milk.
Make White Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins gluten-free by substituting the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
