Cheap Eats: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe

Happy almost Thanksgiving, Blush! Today I’m going to share with you a favorite in my house: pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. A single can of pumpkin puree makes a huge batch, making it perfect to bring to any Turkey Day festivity! 

What you’ll need:

• 1 ½ cup sugar
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (about ½ can)
• ½ cup water
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice Mix (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves add to taste)
• ½ canola or vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 bag chocolate chips (whatever you prefer)

What you’ll do:

1. Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. 
2. Grease bread pan or line muffin tray.
3. Pour batter in tray/bread pan. Place more chocolate chips on top for decoration. 
4. For muffins, bake for 20-25 minutes. If you want to go crazy and make bread, bake for 40-50 minutes. 
5. Let cool and serve!
