Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Notice the little hand trying to steal one from the plate!!!

Ingredients

3/4 c sugar
1 1/2 cup flour
3/4 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1 t pumpkin pie spice
1/4 t salt
1/4 cup oil
2 eggs
1/4 cup water
3/4 c canned pumpkin (1/2 of 15 oz can)
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions
Preheat oven to 400. Grease 12 medium muffin tins, or 6 jumbo muffin tins. Mix all ingredients with hand mixer. Bake for 20-25 minutes (a little longer for the jumbo muffins!)

I doubled the recipe so that I could use the whole can of pumpkin. It made 12 regular size muffins and 6 jumbo muffins! The boys enjoyed these as “breakfast dessert” after they ate their cereal! Can you have dessert after breakfast?!?

DELICIOUS!
Thanks to my dear friend LLL for making these “comfort foods” for us back in the Dominican Republic! I’ve been needing “comfort foods” now that we have been without power for 5 full days! Looks like it will be back on sometime next week :(

  1. oooo, mom used to make something like this and we loved them! I’ll have to dig up her recipe… It was pumpkin cornbread, but us kids thought they were as good as cake! :-)

    I LOVE your new blog design!!!! Wow! What an improvement!

  2. I just made a similar recipe for my Sister-in-law who just had her first baby, but mine look more sticky moist (in a bad way). The tops of your muffins look wonderful, I’ll be trying your recipe the next time I made pumpkin muffins!

  3. I too noticed the new blog design :) Wow - are you out of power from Ike? I hope you get it back on sooner than next week! Oh yeah… :) And the pumpkin muffin recipe looks WONDERFUL! I’ve been making muffins for DH’s lunchbox “snack”, and we love pumpkin, so this I will have to try!! (and chocolate… who can resist a good chocolate recipe? :P )

  4. This recipe sounds great, perfect for fall!

    Loving the new blog design, very eye catching!

  5. These look wonderful!! I’ll have to give them a try. I don’t like pumpkin pie spice.. mom never put nutmeg in her pies and I’ve never grown to enjoy it. I’ll just sub cinnamon for the spice and eat’em up! I bet my 3 yr old will too! :)

  6. my hubby would LOVE me if I made these. I am going to tuck this one away for a MOPS brunch I think :) Thanks so much for participating.

  7. I just noticed that my last comment on these muffins isn’t here… wonder if I’m doing something wrong? Hmmm… Anyway, we made these last week and they are wonderful! Not too sweet–more muffin-y than cake-y.

  8. My little guy would love these. Thanks for submitting the recipe in the simple family favorites blog carnival.
