Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins.

From The Double Parent’s Kitchen: Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins. 

This is my favourite fall muffin recipe. Heck, who am I kidding? This is mine and the kids’ favourite muffin recipe all year round!! The recipe makes 12 muffins but here in the Double Parent kitchen, I always double up on  the recipe,  make 24 – then freeze!

Ingredients:-

1 1/2 cups (195 grams) all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3/4 cup (180 ml) solid packed, canned pumpkin puree

1 cup (175 grams) semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees (177degrees C). Place rack in the middle of the oven. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or spray each cup with a non stick vegetable spray.In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, ground spices, and salt.In the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and pumpkin puree, in three additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Fold in the chocolate chips.Fill the muffin cups evenly with the batter using two spoons or an ice cream scoop. Place in the oven and bake for about 18 – 20 minutes, or until firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the muffins comes out clean. Place on a wire rack to cool. Makes 12 regular-sized muffins. Reference: Rosen, Michael J. ‘Baking from the Heart’. Broadway Books. New York: 2004.
