    Healthy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

    Fall food has got to be at the top of my list when it comes to why I love this season so much. I don't know why I always wait to bust out my pumpkin recipes until this time of year. After all, there is no rule that says you can only eat pumpkin in the fall. Regardless, I guess I make up for it with all the pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin waffles, and pumpkin muffins I eat.

    Today, I'm going to share one of my favorite pumpkin muffin recipes. It seems to be a little healthier with the wheat flour and because it isn't as cake-like as some other recipes I've tried. But then again, maybe the chocolate chips I add cancel out all healthiness. Oh well. These are just too good with the chocolate chips to leave them out. Enjoy!

    Ingredients

    • all-purpose flour
    • whole wheat flour
    • baking powder
    • canned pumpkin puree
    • olive oil
    • eggs
    • pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon)
    • white sugar
    • baking soda
    • salt
    • chocolate chips, optional

    3. Stir together the flours and baking powder.
    4. Add dry ingredients the pumpkin mixture. Mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if desired.
    5. Pour batter into each muffin cup, so that each cup is about ¾ full.

      I think the same thing every Fall....why do I only cook with pumpkin this time of year? There certainly aren't any rules about that!

      You should try this simple version of Pumpkin Chocolate Chip muffins that's so delicious and easy (and worth 1 weight watcher point)...
      1 spice Cake mix
      1-15 oz can of pumpkin
      chocolate chips
      Mix together. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes for mini muffins.
