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.
15oz. canned pumpkin or 2 cups cooked pumpkin from 1 small sugar/pie pumpkin
1 1/2cupswhole wheat flour (use wheat/gluten-free if needed)
1cupyellow cornmeal
2tsp. baking powder
1tsp. baking soda
1tsp. cinnamon
1/2tsp. salt
1/4tsp. ground cloves
1cupchocolate chips
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.
