Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins


Today I'm Making... Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

I love Autumn, it's by far my favorite season. A large part of the greatness is of course the food. It seems that the dishes start becoming warmer, spicier and richer, the only thing unhappy about that is my waistline but it is so worth it. My husband is in charge of bringing breakfast tomorrow for his breakfast club and it is the first one with the cooler weather so we needed a recipe to celebrate autumn. What is more fall like then something with pumpkin, cinnamon and chocolate? They came out AMAZINGLY. The recipe makes 12 muffins.

Recipe:
  1. Mix together wet ingredients: 3/4 cups brown sugar, 1/4 cup canola oil, 2 eggs, 1 cup Pureed Pumpkin (make sure it's pure pumpkin- not the stuff with sugar and spice already mixed in), 1/4 cup water.
  2. In another bowl mix dry ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, mix in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
  3. Mix the two bowls together, the batter should fill 12 muffin tins- there isn't a lot of added fat in this recipe so make sure you grease the pan well or use paper so they don't stick.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees.
Review:
These are wonderful muffins- we doubled the recipe since they were made for a crowd. I can't wait to hear the reviews. I wouldn't change anything about them except next time I am making a whole batch just for my family!
