Bakery Style Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Muffins - jumbo pumpkin muffins with dark chocolate chunks! Make bakery style treat in your own kitchen! 

pumpkin jumbo muffins

It's National Coffee Day! You guys know by now that my Husband and I are huge coffee fans. We get up way before the kids just so we can enjoy our morning cup together. He likes his with just a light splash of half and half but preferably heavy cream and sugar. I like mine the same but I am more into experimenting with new flavors. See my recipe for homemade pumpkin pie spice coffee creamer! I know you guys love it too - thank you for letting me know!!! Recently, I started a series on Insta where I share a photo of our Sunday morning cups of coffee with a different treat alongside. Follow our #SundayMorningFor2 series on Instagram!

Now onto the muffins! Whether you buy coffee in your favorite coffee house or brewing it in your own kitchen, you know that baked treats are a perfect side to your cup. Especially muffins. And not any muffins - jumbo bakery style muffins!!

Since it's fall and pumpkin is on our minds (see here, here and some more here), naturally I made pumpkin muffins. While grabbing my homemade pumpkin pie spice (see the recipe here), I spotted a bar of Hershey's Special Dark chocolate. In minutes, it was chopped into chunks and added to the batter.

Just look at those chunks! They make the muffins even more tempting. The result of the last minute addition: jumbo muffins filled with dark chocolate chunks. Do it! Your coffee will thank you!

But seriously. It's like you need cold milk with cookies, you need coffee with these muffins. Especially on a Sunday morning. Those moments are for enjoying coffee. Usually, during the week, most of us have a quick cup while running out the door or sipping on lukewarm liquid because we are running busy. Sunday mornings are for slowing down, quiet, sit-down mornings when you can sip your coffee holding the cup with both of your hands and adding a little bit sweetness to the moment. What better way to do that than with homemade muffins that look like you got them in the bakery!

Enjoy!

    This is such an amazing recipe. It's a hit every time I make it. I love, Love, LOVE this recipe! They truly are very much better than most of the muffins that one might find in a bakery (I used to work in one). Thank you so much for sharing! Wonderful!

    Oh man these are the best. I didn't have chunks, so I used chips instead. These are such good muffins. I have this recipe saved. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe. 🙂

    I doubled the recipe to make 12 jumbo muffins, and used 2 (12 oz) bags of extra semisweet chocolate chips instead. I did need to bake these longer than the recipe states, but we were airing out the house, so that may have affected it a bit. We are also at 3.500ft elevation. That being said, these were some of the very best muffins I have ever baked, and the first ones I've done using the jumbo muffin tins I got for myself with a Christmas gift card. They made a lovely treat for my family, and a well-appreciated thank you for some of our neighbors who bring packages to our door. Wonderful! This recipe is definitely a keeper. <3
