Mom's Test Meal Mondays #17

 

Welcome to another week of Mom's Test Meal Mondays!! 

 

This week to get us ready for the Thanksgiving holiday we are talking all about pumpkin recipes!  Sweet or savory, pumpkin is such a versatile & perfect ingredient for Thanksgiving Day.  I can't wait to see y'alls favorites!

 

My wonderful co-host, Cindy from Vegetarian Mamma, is getting the party started with an amazing pumpkin muffin recipe!  Not only does it contain chocolate chips but it's also GF!!

Okay, these little puppies are really good! I love chocolate and I love pumpkin! Put them together in an easy to make muffin recipe and you have perfection! I found this recipe on Moneysavingmom.com Please visit her site; you will fall in love with it! I did adapt her recipe by using dairy free butter and gluten free flour. I used Better Batter for the flour; I would highly recommend that as well! My recipe did contain eggs, that was the only allergen. So for us that means no soy, dairy, peanuts, gluten or tree nuts. Remember that this recipe originally had regular flour and butter. So we know it tastes good both ways! I really like that the recipe makes 2 dozen! Makes for some easy freezing cooking!! To see the recipe in original format, please click HERE.

Here is my adapted recipe:  

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 (16 oz.) can pureed pumpkin
• 1 1/2 cups oil
• 3 cups flour (we used Gluten free Better Batter)
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 package chocolate chips (we used Enjoy life, allergen free)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar, pumpkin and oil until smooth.
2. Add in dry ingredients and mix well.
3. Stir in chocolate chips.
4. Lightly spray your muffins tins with oil. Fill each muffin spot 1/2- 3/4 full.
5. Bake 16-20 minutes at 400 degrees. (Mine were actually done at 14 minutes) Be careful...they burn quickly!
