Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients:
- 10 oz. canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/4 cup sour cream light
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 2 large eggs – beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup chocolate chips – plus some extra for the tops
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare muffin tin with parchment paper muffin liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients – the pumpkin, canola oil, applesauce, sour cream, honey, eggs, and vanilla.
- In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients – the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Dump the dry ingredients into the wet, and stir until just combined. Add chocolate chips, and stir again.
- Add additional chocolate chips to the top of the muffins. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the center is done. You can test with a toothpick.
- Remove muffins to a cooling rack. You should have enough batter to make about three more muffins.
