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.

Some days, the scoreboard doesn’t look the way we Some days, the scoreboard doesn’t look the way we want it to, but that doesn’t change how proud we are. ❤️

Yesterday we didn’t win the championship, but that didn’t stop us from remembering what really matters, that our daughter is an amazing human who deserves to be celebrated even on the tough days. 🍧

Parents, it’s SO easy to get wrapped up in the game. Let’s always remember that our kids’ worth isn’t measured by a trophy or a score. Celebrate them. Encourage them. Love them unconditionally. ✨

They are enough. Always. 💛
