Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Finally. A pumpkin recipe.
It's been a long time coming, eh?
(Yes I am Canadian, and yes we do say eh. What of it?)
I may be the biggest advocate for eating chocolate for breakfast. Heck, my last post was brownie oatmeal. I mean, can you think of a better way to start your day with a smile? (Think Nutella Pancakes)
But now, we are featuring pumpkin.
What you need to make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
- all purpose & whole wheat flour (or only all-purpose)
- baking powder
- baking soda
- cinnamon
- all-spice
- nutmeg
- ginger
- salted butter
- white sugar
- vanilla extract
- eggs

I can't believe the last time I made something with pumpkin was in July. What is wrong with me? This is the season to be drowning everything in pumpkin!
Will you forgive me with these pumpkin muffins? It has been my on-the-go breakfast for the past week. Man, I can't wait until the lazy days of the holidays. Until then, I have these.
