Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins - just in time for fall!


• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips (I used a little more than a cup - I'm a choco-holic)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease and flour muffin pan or use paper liners.

Mix sugar, oil, eggs. Add pumpkin and water. In separate bowl mix together the baking flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices and salt.. Add wet mixture and stir in chocolate chips.

Fill muffin cups 2/3 full with batter. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

a great healthy alternative to this is just adding a can of pure pumpkin to a box of devils food cake mix (any kind) and adding about 1/2 cup of water and voila!!!! bake according to box directions with those 3 ingredients only!! and trust me...they are SUPER moist and delicious!

When I make pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, I like to use chocolate chunks instead of chips. Sometimes I use Baker's chocolate squares and roughly chop them and dump them in (I'll even use a mix of semisweet and unsweet). I just love how good they are with nice large chunks of chocolate!
