Why You Should Make This Recipe

Delicious flavor: The pumpkin puree adds a natural sweetness to the muffins while the oatmeal provides a nutty, hearty flavor. The streusel topping, made with butter, brown sugar, oats and pecans adds a sweet and crunchy texture that complements the soft and moist muffin. Let’s not forget about the dark chocolate chips that pair perfectly with the pumpkin!

Versatile: This chocolate chip pumpkin muffins recipe can be simplified. Don’t have chocolate chips? Leave them out! Skip a step and don’t add the streusel topping - these muffins are still delicious! Don’t have buttermilk? Use regular milk! Replace the Greek yogurt with canola oil.

Easy to make: This recipe is simple to follow (and versatile – see above), and the muffins can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer for later.

How to Make Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins

These are the best pumpkin chocolate chip muffins you can bake! They taste great and are easy to make. Simply whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. I like using a batter bowl because the spout makes pouring into the stand mixer much easier. Combine all the wet ingredients and the brown sugar in a mixer. Then carefully add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture. Next, fold in oats and dark chocolate chips. Pour the muffin batter into the prepared muffin pan.

Next, make the oat pecan streusel and spoon over the muffin batter. Bake and enjoy!

Storage

Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day and in the refrigerator for 5 days.

For more extended storage, freeze the muffins for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then warm up in the microwave if desired.
