It’s PUMPKIN SEASON! Time to break out the pumpkin recipes!

Pumpkin is seriously one of my favourite flavours on the planet.At this time of year, I cannot get enough of it.

I think I may have a bit of an addiction, and I’m tellin’ ya, Pinterest is just about killing me.

My feed is filled with delicious pumpkin recipes: pumpkin pies and puddings, pumpkin dips,pumpkin cookies, pumpkinbreads, pumpkin tarts, pumpkin squares..

This morning, to appease my cravings, I turned to one my go-to pumpkin recipes: pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.

These muffins are great because they’re quick and easy to make, and even my pickiest eaters love them.

Plus, there are 2 cups of pumpkin puree in these muffins, so I always feel good serving about that extra dose of nutrition.

P.S. You also have to try our pumpkin chocolate chip bundt cake. It’s so easy and delicious!

Recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients:

4 eggs
2 cups white sugar
2 cups pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1.25 (one and a quarter) cups oil (vegetable or canola)
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
12 oz. chocolate chips

Making your pumpkin chocolate chip muffins

In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla and pumpkin. Stir until well-mixed.

In a separate bowl, stir together dry ingredients.

Now, all you do is add the dry to the wet, gently stir, and fold in the chocolate chips!

The secret to a light and fluffy muffin:

The key to a fluffyis to NOT over-stir the batter. Always mix by hand, and only until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Muffin batter should be lumpy, not smooth like cake batter. When you over-mix muffin batter, your muffins will turn out tough and chewy.

Add paper muffin liners to your muffin tin, and fill your muffin liners 1/2 to 3/4 full.

Can you Freeze Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins?

Yes! Absolutely, you can freeze these muffins.

I freeze mine in sealablesandwich bags (3 or 4 muffins per bag). That way I can pull them out and thaw them quickly for lunches or after school snacks.
