In a small bowl, combine 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder and set the bowl aside.
In a large bowl, mix 1 ½ cup white sugar, 2 large eggs,1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 cup pumpkin puree, ¼ teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoons nutmeg, and ½ teaspoons ground cloves. Slowly stir in ½ cup vegetable oil and make sure ingredients are combined well.
Slowly add in the flour and baking powder mixture, along ¾ cup white chocolate chips.
Using a small ice cream scoop or large spoon, fill muffin liners about ¾ full. Muffins will rise as they bake so don’t over fill.
Bake for 25-35 minutes until done and allow to cool.
Notes
Substitutions/Additions Use regular chocolate chips if you prefer!Use homemade pumpkin pie spice in place of the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.You can make these into mini muffins, or scale them up and make the super large bakery-style ones too. Just cool a little less, for minis and a little longer for jumbo size.You can even make it into pumpkin bread if you wish!Make sure they're cooked by inserting a toothpick in the center. It should come out clean.Storage:Keep muffins covered or in a sealed bag or container to prevent them from drying out. Keeping them at room temperature is fine, but if you decorated them, they will last longer in the refrigerator!You may also freeze them for up to 3 months. Just wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in a zip lock bag.Decorating:Drizzle melted white chocolate over the top of the muffins, and dust with powdered sugarSprinkle powdered sugar over the topMake a cream cheese frosting - I use the frosting found on my cinnamon rolls recipe, and pipe onto the muffins.
