Pumpkin and chocolate chips, yummy on a cold winter's day.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

In gredients:

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 oil
2 eggs
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup water
1-1/2 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare muffin pans with grease or liners, whichever you prefer.

Mix sugar, oil and eggs. Add pumpkin and water.
(Looks kind of nasty, doesn't it? - Don't worry, it gets better.)

Now here's the GOOD STUFF.

This recipe depends on these spices. That's what gets rid of the bland pumpkin taste and adds lots of tasty goodness.

Mmmm. Yummy with a nice cup of hot coffee.

In separate bowl mix together the baking flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices and salt.

Add wet mixture and stir in chocolate chips.

Fill muffin cups 2/3 full with batter. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
