Autumn is just starting to make itself seen in our neck of the woods. I ADORE Fall and all things Fall related!!! Time for apple and pumpkin recipes to make appearances in our home!!!
I recently tried a new muffin recipe- Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. These are SO delicious! (Almost dangerous for a sweets lover like me!!!) They were a hit with our entire family.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
3 eggs, well beaten
3/4 c oil
2 c sugar
1 (15 oz) can of 100% pumpkin (pumpkin only)
2 1/2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 package of mini chocolate chips to mixture
Mix together the first four ingredients. Then add in remaining ingredients (yes, you read that right. Add them all in at the same time. I see no need for an extra mixing bowl.) Spoon into prepared muffin tins (either sprayed with nonstick spray or line with muffin liners) and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes (depends on how hot your oven runs). They are finished baking when they are lightly golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the muffin comes out clean. These make 18-24 regular sized muffins (depends on how much you spoon into each muffin tin). Plenty to enjoy that morning AND to freeze for another day!!!
Your home will smell so delicious when these are baking!! Your family will be happy to be welcoming in the new season with these yummy breakfast treats!
Happy Homemaking!!
