Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gently add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
Portion Batter: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (a few melted chocolate streaks are okay!).
Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
