Autumn Pumpkin Muffins
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp cloves
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Mix dry ingredients and set aside. In large bowl, beat eggs. Stir in pumpkin, melted butter and chips. Slowly add dry ingredients, mix well. Spoon into muffin pan. Bake 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.
For mini-muffins, use mini chips and decrease baking time to 15-18 minutes. (Milk chocolate chips are especially good in this recipe)
Bobbi's notes: I got this recipe from Peony at Two Sleepy Mommies (who got it from gnat at Mothering With Grace). Peony says, "The first time I made these, last fall, I turned my back for a moment (the fatal last words) and turned back around to find [2 yr. old] Hambet standing on the table with a muffin in each hand and a third stuffed in his mouth. He looked up at me and explained, "yummy!" Later, I sent the recipe to my mom, who made some for my grandma, who also pronounced them "yummy." So there you go, endorsements from age 2 to 92."
With that endorsement I decided to let Bella have her first baking experience with these pumpkin muffins. I made a plain batch without the chocolate chips (so good!) and a batch with the chocolate (even yummier!) We especially loved the wonderful smells it made in the kitchen. A perfect autumn recipe!
