Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins


These are delicious and lower in sugar than
most pumpkin bread recipes.


Whisk together dry ingredients in a very large bowl:
2 c. whole wheat flour
3 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. allspice
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder

and whisk together wet ingredients in a medium sized bowl:
1 can pumpkin (1 pound 13 oz can)
3 eggs
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. applesauce
1 c. canola oil
1 c. cold water
2 tsp. vanilla

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and fold until just combined.
Add 2 cups chocolate chips & fold in gently. Do not overmix.

This recipe makes a lot! 36+ muffins or 3 large loaves
Spray your pans and preheat oven to 350*
muffins bake for about 20 minutes. loaves will need longer. It is ready when a finger pressed gently on top bounces back instead of staying indented.

yum! i love pumpkin & chocolate! delicious!
