Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Just made pumpkin chocolate chip muffins to go with my food of the month.  My family loves them and they are great for breakfast.  They have the best flavor if you make them a day or two ahead, but in my house they are usually gone by then unless we make a double batch.




Here's the recipe:


1 2/3 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tbs pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp baking  soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup plain pumpkin
1 stick melted butter
1 cup chocolate chips


Heat oven to 350°F. Grease muffin cups or use paper or foil liners(or silicone baking pans).  In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  In another bowl break the eggs.  Add pumpkin and melted butter, mix until well blended.  Incorporate chocolate chips.  Pour over dry ingredients and fold in with a spatula.  Scoop batter into muffin cups.  Bake for 20-25 minutes until they spring back at touch.  wrap in a plastic bag for 1-2 days.
