Taste Tested Tuesday: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Posted by Andrea

It’s fall ya’ll and pumpkins are plentiful! This past weekend was a cold and rainy one, so I decided to prepare a few things to warm us up. Seasonal flavors such as pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are delicious, and I couldn’t resist putting them to good use in these wonderfully moist muffins.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
2 eggs
1 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 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (minis work well)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin tin with 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.

:) i look forward to using your recipe! i made the balsamic chicken for a potluck at church by making the sauce (doubled as you suggested), cutting the boneless skinless chicken into bite-sized pieces and frying them, and then cooking a pound of elbow macaroni. Sunday morning i combined it all in my slow cooker and took it to church. once there, i plugged it in and turned it on the low setting. by lunchtime, it was ready to serve and got lots of raves.

for a young adults party this friday, i’m making the pumpkin dip recipe that you posted last fall.

thanks so much.

Tammie, thanks for sharing your twist on the Balsamic Chicken. Your Crock Pot method is a great idea. I will be make note of it on my recipe sheet tonight!

Funny you should mention that pumpkin dip. I was thinking of you this weekend and recalling how much you liked it as I picked up the ingredients to make it.

Hope the kids have a great time at the party this weekend:)
