# What You’ll Need:

02 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
07 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

→ Wet Ingredients

08 - 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
09 - 2 large eggs
10 - 1/2 cup vegetable oil
11 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar

13 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Mix-ins

14 - 3/4 cup butterscotch chips
15 - 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until evenly blended.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
04 - Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to retain a tender crumb.
05 - Gently fold in butterscotch chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
06 - Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full.
07 - Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin emerges clean or with a few moist crumbs.
08 - Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
