Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins

August 24, 2021 | food, recipes

These Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins are so good! They were easy to make and so light! I love making them in the fall when the weather is cooler. They make my house smell so good, and also, they freeze really well if you want to save some for later! I started making these when Bobby and I first got married, and he asks for them every year now. It’s our little tradition!

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins:

Ingredients

  • 1  cup  all-purpose flour (about 4 1/2 ounces)
  • 1/2  cup  whole wheat flour (about 2 1/2 ounces)
  • 1/2  cup  granulated sugar
  • 1/2  cup  packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/4  teaspoons  pumpkin-pie spice
  • 1  teaspoon  baking soda
  • 1/4  teaspoon  baking powder
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1  cup  canned pumpkin
  • 1/2  cup  fat-free buttermilk
  • 1/2  cup  egg substitute
  • 1/4  cup  canola oil
  • 1/4  cup  applesauce
  • Cooking spray
  • ***I added a cup of chocolate chips

 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°.

Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, granulated sugar, and next 5 ingredients (through salt) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk.

Combine pumpkin and the next 4 ingredients (through applesauce) in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.

Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.

    The pictures are fine for the recipe….the font however is quite hard to read. It shouldn’t be this hard to read a recipe.

    • Heather says

      December 3, 2012 at 6:23 pm

      when I switched over to self hosting 2 years ago all of my posts from my first few months of blogging went to that font and I haven’t yet figured out why or how to change the whole bunch of them. It’s not intentional, sorry.

#ad Who says gift cards can’t be personal? 🎁☕️ 

This year I wanted to do something special for my coffee-loving friend — something simple but still thoughtful. I grabbed a Starbucks gift card from Walgreens (they seriously have every kind you can think of, and you can even Buy Online, or Pickup In Store 🙌). 

Then I added my own touch: a cute Christmas mug, a candy cane, and a little note. Because the best gifts don’t have to be complicated, they just have to show you care. 💛

#ad For too long, retirement has been painted as “slowing down.” But for me? It’s the opposite.

I see retirement as the start of bold adventures, family memories, and the freedom to keep moving and exploring — whether that’s traveling, staying active, or saying yes to new experiences.

✨I’m protecting my passion 

Because the people I love, the life I’ve built, and the retirement I want — it’s all part of my life’s work. And @Prudential can help protect it.

Had the best time with @visitflorida in Nashville Had the best time with @visitflorida in Nashville recently! We spent the evening up on the rooftop at @whitelimozeennash at the @graduatehotels making @bouquetbox arrangements, and it was perfection. 💐 🍹 🌅 

I learned a lot about places in Florida I have never visited, and met some great people. Florida is the state we visit most, and while y’all know I’m a theme park girlie, there is so much more to see and we love adding on little side trips to explore each time we go! 

Here is a list of places we learned about, can’t wait to visit some of these! 🏖️ Thanks for inviting us!
