This recipe comes from a blogging friend. She has started a blog that has some really cute ideas. Not many recipes but still some fun ideas. If you like pumpkin, these are really good. And easy. What a great combo. (too bad I didn't take a photo so show their goodness....)
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins
3 cups of sugar
1 cup of salad oil
4 eggs, beaten
1 (16oz) can of pumpkin
3 ½ cup of flour
2 tsp. Baking soda
2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp cloves
2/3 cup of water
1 cup of mini (trust me use the mini) chocolate chips.
Mix the Chocolate Chips with a Tablespoon of flour before adding to the batter. This will keep the chips from sinking to the bottom of the bowl. (nifty trick huh?)
cream sugar and oil together. Add eggs and pumpkin; mix well. Sift together dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients alternately with water. Add Chocolate Chips. Pour into 2 well greased and floured loaf pans or in mini or large muffin tins. Bake at 350 degrees. 1 ½ hour or so our until knife comes out clean for the bread and about 15 minutes for the muffins
If you do make loaves of bread mix cinnamon and sugar in the pan before you bake it and it makes a nice sugar coating for the outside of the bread.
