Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

These muffins are easy to make and quite good.  I make these several times a year as they are a favorite of my kids and quick to bake!

3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil (or you can substitute apple sauce)
2 eggs
3/4 cups canned pumpkin (or you can substitute 1 mashed banana)
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Grease and flour muffin pan or use paper liners

Mix sugar, oil, eggs. Add pumpkin and water.  In a separate bowl mix together the baking flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt.  Add wet mixture and stir to combine then fold in chocolate chips.

Fill muffin cups 2/3 full with batter. To fill your muffin cups neatly without those pesky drips onto your muffin tin....use an ice cream scoop!   Bake in preheated oven 20-25 minutes.
