White Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins
Big, bakery style White Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins loaded with white chocolate chips and pumpkin spice make for a most delicious and moist muffin!
Well, Friday was the official first day of Fall. Personally, I’ve been dreaming of this all month-long. And well, it’s still 90 degrees in Texas so… you know… I’m still dreaming.
But whether you are experiencing that first Fall chill or, like me, you’re just dreaming about it, it doesn’t mean you can’t start enjoying all things pumpkin!
Which is why I have been posting pumpkin recipes left and right! Fall brings my favorite things: cold weather, pumpkins, apples and changing leaves, so I’m super excited about the season.
Picking up a box mix at the store is easy enough, but I find that baking from scratch is fun, and no box mix can really compare to these chocolate chip pumpkin muffins.
Interestingly, getting these awesome, huge, tall, fluffy bakery style muffins is much easier than you think. I actually find cookies more of a pain to make.
This batter is a little thicker than the average cake and muffin mix and rises nice and tall. The trick is in filling those suckers up all the way, even slightly over. They’ll rise up and up and up to give you those awesome bakery tops.
Not to mention, your house will smell absolutely divine.
The absolute perfect way to usher in the new season, if you ask me!
So bake away, and I want to hear… What is your favorite fall treat?
Until next time. X

These are so good. I use a homemade gluten free flour mix that I have adapted (it doesn’t have any xanthan or other gums). It works perfectly with this recipe. I also use the ghiradelli baking bar white chocolate, cut up into pieces. (They use cocoa butter instead of palm oil like all of the others). It is my absolute favorite muffin recipe! I even cut down to half of the amount of chocolate chips this time because it’s all I had, and it’s still great.
These taste wonderful and look exactly like the pictures, truly bakery level muffins!
These muffins are DEVINE!!! They are almost gingerbread-ish, and so good, you’ll have a hard time not eating them all immediately!! The crust is delicious and kind of caramelizes where a chocolate chip touches the muffin tin. Then the middle is so moist!! The only thing I recommend is mix up all the wet ingredients well in a separate bowl first and then add that mixture to the dry ingredients. Then you can be sure everything got incorporated very well without over mixing. The second thing I recommend is making a double batch because you’ll wish you had if you don’t!!! I’m telling you, so good!!!!!!
A little coffee shop in my town made muffins like these, and they were yummy. Then I went by one morning to get my usual muffin and coffee, and they had closed the shop. Very disappointing! I started looking on line for a recipe and found yours. Can’t wait to try it –
I love that pumpkin white chocolate combo!
What Brand of chocolate chips did you use?
I used Guittard, but I also love Ghirardelli.
