Indulge in a divine blend of chocolate and pumpkin that will warm your heart and satisfy your cravings tonight!

1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with muffin liners.

2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

3

In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together until evenly distributed.

4

Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; take care not to overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins.

5

Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.

6

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

7

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
