Ingredients:
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. vegetable oil
2 eggs
3/4 c. pumpkin puree
1/4 c. water
1 1/2 c. flour
3/4 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. nutmeg
1/2 c. chocolate chips

*Yep, that does seem like a long list of ingredients, but other than pumpkin puree and nutmeg, these rest of these ingredients are pretty standardly found in any kitchen!

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400*. Lightly spray muffin pan or use paper liners.

Mix sugar, oil and eggs and then add the pumpkin and the water. In a separate bowl mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices and salt. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture followed by the chocolate chips.

Fill muffin cups 2/3 full and bake for 20-25 minutes. This recipe makes 12 traditional size muffins or 24 mini muffins!

Personal Note:
I am in LOVE with these muffins not only because they are easy to make and are filled with chocolate, but especially because they are super tasty (and I don't like pumpkin pie... at all!!!) and THEY DO NOT CRUMBLE INTO A MILLION PIECES WHEN YOU EAT THEM!!! (Toddlers, the floor and muffins are often a tough combination... wink!)
