It’s not that I particularly enjoy Halloween (in fact I think Halloween takes away from the autumn freshness) – but I love all things harvest-y and pumpkin-y.
One of my favorite treats is pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. I mentioned them earlier. In college, one of my friends did an internship with a church; during this internship, she lived with a family in Charlottesville, VA. While I was visiting my friend, the mother of this household made these muffins. I don’t think I’d eaten anything pumpkin-y in America until that day. I’m sharing that recipe with you. I also love the recipe because it makes a TON of muffins – so you can have 4 for breakfast, 5 for lunch, and 5 for dinner. Just don’t tell your husbands.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe:
Preheat Oven 400 Degrees F.
Combine:
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup oil
- 1 can pumpkin
- 1/2 a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips (I think I use a bit more, but it's really up to you)
- 3 cups sugar
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
*Bake for about 15-20 minutes (depending on your stove); it makes about 36 muffins.
