I don’t know about you, but as soon as summer starts winding down I get excited about pumpkin season. I’m pretty sure I let out a little squeal of excitement when I saw pumpkin spice coffee in the grocery store the other day. My kitchen is already stocked with that coffee and pumpkin spice creamer. I even had some pumpkin spice ice cream at an ice cream shop the other day and it was so darn good! This is one of my favorite things to look forward to every fall.<\/p>\n

These cupcakes are even better than your average pumpkin dessert because not only are they pumpkin, but they also include chocolate. Plus, they are really easy to make. If you’re keeping score, that’s two wins for one recipe!<\/p>\n

For the cupcakes, I wanted to make sure that the chocolate chips wouldn’t all sink to the bottom. Rather than using the creaming method, I use a simpler method of mixing things together and the chocolate chips stay evenly spread throughout the cupcakes. I also played around with the amount of butter, milk and vegetable oil to make sure they were both moist and not too dense. Reducing the butter and adding the vegetable oil helps to lighten the cupcakes a little bit but still allow for plenty of fat and moisture in the cupcakes.<\/p>\n

\"Pumpkin<\/p>\n

The final result is a wonderfully moist cupcake that is just light enough and still keeps the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom. I even used full-sized chocolate chips to make sure you get plenty of chocolate in every bite! I love the final result!<\/p>\n

\"Pumpkin<\/p>\n

I topped the cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. It’s always a wonderful frosting to pair with pumpkin and I think it’s even better with the chocolate mixed in. It balances everything really well. I topped my cupcakes with a drizzle of chocolate sauce to give them that lovely finishing touch! Feel free to add your favorite finish to them and enjoy!<\/p>\n
