I couldn’t let November come to an end without sharing one more pleasing pumpkin recipe and this one is AWESOME! These moist pumpkin muffins are loaded with mini chocolate chips and pistachios and then topped with the most memorable pistachio streusel.
Everyone who’s had one has told me they’re amazing and crave-worthy and I couldn’t agree more!
I’ll be baking another batch to have on the counter for a Thanksgiving Day snack or post-Thanksgiving breakfast. And I can promise you I’ll be baking them all year round because we’re a pumpkin and pistachio loving family. The combination is incredible and the chocolate just completes them.
Here’s how easy they are to bake…
Bake a batch and see for yourself. You’ll be so glad you did!
Enjoy!

Pumpkin Pistachio Chocolate Chip Muffins are tender pumpkin muffins loaded with mini chocolate chips and pistachios and then topped with an irresistible pistachio streusel!
Ingredients
Muffins:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped pistachios
Streusel:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir in the oil, eggs, and pumpkin until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and pistachios and stir until evenly dispersed. Divide batter evenly among the 12 lightly greased muffin cups, filling each one almost full.
- To make the streusel, stir together the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Using a fork, mash in the butter until small crumbles form. Stir in the pistachios. Top each muffin cup with a heaping tablespoon of streusel.
- Bake until muffin tops are rounded and streusel starts to brown, about 30-35 minutes. Let cool in pan at least 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Tips: Store in an airtight container.
