02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, plant-based milk, light brown sugar, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
03 - In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
04 - Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain tenderness.
05 - Fold in the vegan chocolate chips with a spatula to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
06 - Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
