Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Anyone getting tired of pumpkin recipes yet?  I promise I will eventually post something that doesn't have pumpkin in it!  These muffins are identical to the previous post but you replace the cream cheese with chocolate chips.  They are outstanding!  With 2 of my favorite foods, pumpkin & chocolate, together you can't go wrong!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

• 1/4 c applesauce
• 2 eggs
• 1 c pumpkin (fresh or canned)
• 1/4 c water

• 1/2 c whole wheat flour
• 3/4 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 c chocolate chips (regular size or mini)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease or line muffin pan.

Mix sugar, applesauce & eggs.  Add pumpkin & water.  In separate bowl mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices & salt.  Add to wet mixture.  Mix in chocolate chips.
