Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins:

I wasn't too sure about these when I first saw them, but they turned out really yummy! The pumpkin was not at all over-powering and they were super moist! I hope you give them a try!



2 cups flour

1 & 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum

2 & 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. ground ginger

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

3/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. baking soda

pinch of ground allspice

1 egg

3/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup canned pumpkin

2/3 cup milk

3 tblsp. melted butter

1 tsp. vanilla

1 cup chocolate chips

In a large bowl, combine first 8 ingredients. In a smaller bowl, whisk together egg, brown sugar, pumpkin, milk, butter and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 3/4 full (I use an ice cream scoop for this). Bake at 375 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until slightly golden brown and toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in muffin pan 5 minutes. Remove to cool or serve!
