The pumpkin muffins got made and they are crazy good. I changed the recipe so much however, I am posting it here. It's much healthier, less sweet, but still really yummy.
chocolate chip pumpkin muffins
1 1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 egg whites
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2/3 cups apple sauce
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 can (15oz) pumpkin
1 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flours, spices, and all the other dry stuff together. In a different bowl mix the eggs, oil, applesauce and pumpkin. Add the dry stuff- to the wet,then stir in the chocolate chips. Bake 20 min. A clever commenter yesterday suggested dropping this batter by the tablespoon on sheet to make soft cookies (cook for 8-10 minutes) and I think this is brilliant.
Frikken yum. I do have to admit that I got a bite that tasted like baking soda yesterday and it was nasty. I think it was just a pocket of soda. The weird thing is, I have had that same taste in my mouth all day today too, but I haven't had any muffins. . .so I am tasting metal for no reason (isn't this indicative of something?) I'm not going to do any research on this because it will freak me out. Thanks for all your eye makeup remover tips, no blindness for me!
