Thanksgiving Pumpkin Spice Mix

Makes about 1/4 cup

Combine:
3 T ground cinnamon
3 t ground nutmeg
1 1/2 t ground ginger
1 1/2 t ground cloves

I multiplied this several times to have the mix on hand.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Makes about 24 muffins

3 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups pumpkin
1 3/4 cups milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl.

Combine wet ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Add dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.

Fill greased muffin cups nearly full. I use a large cookie scoop, which makes it easy and mess-free.

Bake 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack.

These are best served warm!
