Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

We first made these 2 years ago.  I got the recipe from a friend's blog, Life Simplified - Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread.  The original recipe is for bread, but it I like to do it as muffins for easy and quick on the go eating.  We absolutely love these.  My kids ate so many of them today and Ben was sad when he thought we only had one left.  Luckily, we have a whole other plastic container of them in the kitchen!!!


Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins




Ingredients:

3 cups sugar
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
4 eggs
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 cups chocolate chips (We use milk chocolate)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350.  Please pay attention to the temperature when preheating.  Last night I unfortunately forgot to change the oven to 350 from the last time it was used and ruined the whole first batch by cooking them at 450.  They looked like this:


Grease the muffin tin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, pumpkin, oil, water, and eggs.  Beat until smooth then blend in the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups and cook for 20 minutes or until a knife or toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

This recipe makes about 30 muffins.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
