Muffin Madness: Blueberry Cream Streusel and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

These two muffin recipes are perhaps my most popular and most requested dishes. I make these muffins weekly for a Local Bookstore/Cafe. They are especially tasty to eat warm with butter on top. They make a perfect on-the-go breakfast or a tasty snack. You can even make a batch and freeze them individually in ziploc baggies to pull out each morning and warm in the microwave. My 2 year old is especially fond of the "punkin" ones because he likes the "chocolate ips". The recipes are written to make 12 jumbo muffins or 24 regular size muffins or 48 mini muffins.

Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Muffins

My best Carolina gal shared this recipe with me and it has been passed along to many other friends who now call it “our favorite” muffin. It has become a regular treat in our Sunday School class.

Ingredients:
4 eggs

2 cups sugar

1 - 15 ounce canned pumpkin

1½ cups oil

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups chocolate chips

Directions:

Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add sugar, pumpkin, and oil. In a separate bowl, mix flour, soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Blend dry ingredients into pumpkin mixture. Fold in chocolate chips. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.

Notes:
I also like to mix it up by using cinnamon chips instead of the chocolate chips. Yummy!
