Fall is here, which means baking season is in full swing. I love that Fall gives us an opportunity to put pumpkin in everything: pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pie, and my favorite muffins!
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup milk, room temperature
1/2 cup canned pumpkin (make sure you don’t accidentally buy pumpkin pie filling)
1/4 cup melted butter (1/2 stick)
1 egg, room temperature
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate morsels
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients. In a small bowl, combine egg, butter, milk, and pumpkin. Make a “well” in the center of the dry ingredients, and add the wet ingredients and the chocolate chips. Mix all the ingredients with a spatula just until the dry ingredients have been incorporated. Don’t overmix. Spoon into greased muffin tins, filling the cups 3/4 of the way. Bake for 18 – 20 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.
