tasty tuesday: pumpkin muffins

I have a serious love for these muffins.  I could seriously eat them all day.  ALL DAY.

Living on a pumpkin patch has serious perks...one of them being an endless supply of pumpkins.  I honestly didn't even know that some people bought pumpkin from the store....IN A CAN.  What?  Weird.  Not that there's anything wrong with that...haha.  I was just completely ignorant of the fact.  And fresh just tastes better anyways.

Moral of the story: buy a pumpkin, cook it and make these muffins if you can.....but if you can't, buy it in a can and still make these delicious muffins!

And HERE's a quick how-to for cooking pumpkin!

Pumpkin Muffins

Ingredients:
4 eggs
2 cups of sugar
2 cups of pumpkin
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
3 cups of flour
2 tsp of baking soda
2 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
2 cups chocolate chips

Directions:
1)  In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, pumpkin and oil until smooth.

2)  Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to pumpkin mixture and mix well. 

3)  Fold in the chocolate chips.
4)  Fill your (greased) muffin tins about 3/4 full, and bake at 400 degrees for 16-20 mins (or until a toothpick comes out clean!).

Jordyn and I like to fill our tins REALLY full.

These muffins came out beautifully with a nice dome, and a perfectly crunchy muffin top edge. My favorite!
