Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

by Shelly VanWagenen

Mix all dry ingredients together
1 2/3 cup Flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp salt
1 tsp Baking soda
1/4 tsp Baking powder

Mix all wet ingredients
1 cube margarine melted
1 cup pumpkin
2 eggs

I melt the margarine and then add the pumpkin and then the eggs. This helps to cool the margarine so that you don't cook the eggs.
Then I hand mix the wet and dry ingredients along with 1 1/2 C of Chocolate chips.
Use paper liners and fill. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes
I usually triple this recipe. a large can of pumpkin makes three recipes. These are so good and one batch is never enough!


I made these muffins for the first time and my family really enjoyed them. So I called Shelly and asked her if I could post her recipe. She gladly gave her permission.

Thanks Shelly these are wonderful.





I did modify the recipe when I cooked it. I also made loaves, mini loaves and jumbo muffins.
I substituted margarine with 1/2 cup butter. I decreased the chocolate chips to 1 cup and added 1/4 tsp all spice. I doubled Shelly's recipe to make the loaves.

I tossed all the ingredients into a electric mixer and made a hole in the the middle with my hand. I tossed in the eggs and pumpkin mixed about 30 seconds or until moist. Then I slowly poured in the butter and mixed on low until all the butter was combined. Grease and lightly flour 2 loaf pans and bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. For mini loaves and jumbo muffins bake for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
