Pumpkin and chocolate chip muffins

Today for the first time I decided to try baking with pumpkin. I wasn't really sure if I was going to like anything made out of canned pumpkin, but those muffins are the tastiest muffins ever!!!! Moist, sweet just like they should be, and....they have chocolate, now what not to like!!!!! Can you believe that even my oldest son and my hubby tried them and liked them!!!!

Ingredients

• 1 2/3 cup All-purpose Flour
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup Sugar (I don't think it needs more, but you can adjust the quantity as your liking)
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 Tb Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 1/2 cup butter, melted or 1/4 cup butter and 1/2 cup of buttermilk for a lighter version
• 1 cup chocolate chips

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

 

Spray muffin pan with cooking spray or line with paper baking liners.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and pumpkin spice. Set aside.

 

In another medium bowl, combine the eggs, pumpkin, and melted butter. Add the pumpkin mixture to the dry mixture. Stir until just moistened (batter may be a little lumpy). Fold in chocolate chips.

Spoon batter into the muffin cups and bake for about 20 minutes.

 

Enjoy!!
