- 1 ¾ cups (230 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- ¼ cup vegetable oil , or canola oil
- ¼ cup apple sauce (I use a 3-ounce pouch)

Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a muffin pan with liners or spray with nonstick spray.
- Dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk 1 3/4 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt.
- Wet ingredients. Stir in 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 cup applesauce, 2 eggs, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla and mix just until combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the 1 cup chocolate chips.
- Add batter to pan. Using a large cookie or ice cream scoop, scoop the batter into muffin pan, filling the liners 3/4 the way full. Press extra chocolate chips on top, if desired.
- Bake. Bake 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool on a cooling rack.
