Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cornmeal Muffins
My kids love these for breakfasts, snacks, and even in lunchboxes because of the chocolate chips and pumpkin flavor. I love them for the whole grains and dose of vegetables.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat two 12-cup muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray.
- In an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy.
- Add the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the chocolate chips and beat just until smooth.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full with the batter, and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean (a little under-baked is good). Let cool and serve immediately, or store tightly covered for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 6 months.
