Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Who doesn't absolutely LOVE pumpkin and chocolate in the Fall? If you don't you should probably be institutionalized. Anyhoo...I found this lovely little gift over at AllRecipes.com. When I go there for something I usually base my decision on the number of stars and reviews it gets. But sometimes you also have to read the reviews because they add insight and sometimes recipe modifications to make things even better.
This was the case with this one. The recipe is written one way but I took the advice of several reviewers and added to it. The recipe that follows has the additions.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable 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
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1.Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease and flour muffin pan or use paper liners.
2.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.
3.Fill muffin cups 2/3 full with batter. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes
Notes: I didn't have ground cloves but the pumpkin pie spice made up for it. So I'm not sure if it's overkill to have the cloves and the pumpkin pie spice together since pumpkin pie spice includes cloves. If you're not sure, kill the cloves and use the spice. That's what I did and they were great!
