These tasty pumpkin chocolate chip muffins offer an alternative to cupcakes, are easy to transport and don’t need icing. They also freeze well, so you can keep some on hand for those occasions when a child suddenly announces she needs to take a snack to school the next day.
If you like, you can use 2 cups of sugar instead of 1 cup sugar and one cup Splenda. You can also use all white flour instead of half white and half whole wheat.
Pumpkin offers a number of health benefits. These delicious muffins are a great way to sneak some healthy food into the kids.
