I have a confession to make. I don’t really like pumpkin. Or squash. {I know, it’s sad.}
At least, I don’t like them by themselves. But pair pumpkin with chocolate chips, and I’ll gladly eat it right up ;)
Maybe you’re like this too, or maybe it’s your kids who aren’t big fans. Either way, I’m fairly certain everyone will at least try my Partly Whole Wheat Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. And hopefully, they’ll become a favorite for your family just like they have for mine!
I used half whole wheat and less sugar than the original recipe, which I got from a friend a number of years ago. I also substituted 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce in place of some of the oil. Enjoy!
{Partly} Whole Wheat Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Mix together:
4 eggs

Add in:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat or whole white wheat flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
Fold in 1 1/2 to 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Baking Directions:
Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 375 Farenheit for 16-20 minutes. You can tell that they’re done when the muffin tops spring back up when pressed lightly. Makes between 24 and 32 muffins.

We just made these (with a similar recipe) this morning. So very yummy!
Today I posted about praying my friend’s son Kervens home from Haiti. I created a button for other blogs to post to get even more of the bloggy world praying for this. Would you consider posting this button on your site? Thank you!
