Skills of a Teenage Goddess: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

The first person who ever tried these muffins was a kid named Colin. He liked them. You will too. 

So behold, Mercer's Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins.

Wet Ingredients: 

1 can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) 

3 eggs 

1/2 cup oil 

1/4 cup applesauce 

1/2 cup water 

Dry Ingredients: 

2 1/2 cups flour 

2 cups sugar 

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 

1 teaspoon ground ginger 

1/4 of a teaspoon ground cloves 

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips.

Combine wet and dry ingredients separately and then together. Then add chocolate chips. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. 

Makes 2-3 dozen muffins depending upon how full you fill your muffin tin. 

Remember to account for the fact that you will eat half a dozen yourself when deciding how many batches to make.

I once used these muffins to bribe people into voting me into middle school student council.
