- When you think of pumpkin you might think of pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup and jack-o-lanterns. But my family loves Pumpkin Chocolate chip muffins. These are a mild muffin great for kids who don’t like to eat their fruit but love baking and chocolate. It is a nice baked treat that can use some of the pumpkin that is on hand in the fall!

1. Next step is to add the dry ingredients to the wet ones.

2. Add the Baking Soda, Baking Power, Spices, Salt, and the Vanilla Extract .

3. Mix well. Add the Flour and stir.

4. Add in the Dark Chocolate Chunks, stir only until blended. DO NOT OVER MIX.

* If you over stir your muffin batter, they will come out dense, lumpy and lopsided. To achieve light fluffy muffins, just mix the batter until blended.

Fill the Muffin Cups

3. Remove them from the pan and place them on a wire cooling rack.
