My family loves just about any type of pumpkin baked goods and this recipe didn't disappoint!
I added mini chocolate chips to half of the batch and to the other half, I added raisins. The pumpkin/chocolate chips satisfied my cravings for my new favorite flavor combination and the pumpkin/raisin combo made my husband a happy camper.
Like many other have commented, I had to adjust the baking time. Using silicone baking cups, I baked these muffins at 400* for 17 minutes. They turned out very moist; but, they are a more dense muffin, not light and airy. I had a few left over so I decided to freeze them. They weren't nearly as good warmed up again as they were the first day straight out of the oven. I would recommend only making what you are going to eat that same day.

welcome to TWD, Tami - you'll love it! Your muffins look great! I would never have guessed that chocolate + pumpkin went so well togther till one of my nieces made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies a few years ago - they were great. Now I have to go look at your candy corn quesadillas - wouldn't I be the cool aunt if I made those?!
see you next week,
Audrey
I Audrey :) Thanks for stopping by to say "hi" this morning. Yes, I believe that you would be a TOTALLY cool aunt if you made the candy corn quesadillas!! I miss having the chance to spoil my nephews.
I totally agree with you about them being best the first day. These muffins were awesome the first day, good the second and not so great the third. I did like you and added chocolate chips, but I did it through the whole batch, replacing the nuts. Overall I loved them. LOVE your presentation, they look so pretty!
Those look so yummy. Love the chocolate chips. I'm catching up on your other posts. I love those Halloween smoothies. You have such a great way of presenting your food. It looks beautiful.
welcome to the group! your muffins looks really wonderful!
I love pumpkin and chocolate chips. I haven't tried it with raisins, but it sounds wonderful!
Your muffins look awesome. I've never tried the chocolate-pumpkin combo - I'll have to add it to my list!
Both combos sound yummy! I may have to take this recipe and try it for myself!
Thanks, Amanda! I did the 1/2 & 1/2batches because of my husband...he loves raisins in everything. Gotta keep 'em happy, ya know? :)
Prudy, Thank you so much! :)
Luscious, Thanks for the welcome!
Barbara, Do try the raisins, too. They help to add a nice moistness to the muffins. :)
Kimberly, I would suggest trying the chocolate/pumpkin combo! I never would've thought of pairing the two but they have turned out to be my new favorite. Thanks for stopping by to visit!
Hi Mom (from the Maier Household)
:) The muffins are quick and easy to whip up but do only make as many as you will eat the first day. They are much better when they are fresh.
