Method

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, and salt together. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, and milk together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk just until combined and no flour pockets remain. Fold in 180 g chocolate chips at this point, if you like.
4. Spoon the batter into the liners, filling them all the way to the top. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
5. Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F (218°C), then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for an additional 16–17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (about 21–22 minutes in total). Cool for 5 minutes in the pan before enjoying.
6. Cover tightly and store at room temperature for up to 1 week.
