"What distinguishes a Holy Family from the other, is not that it lacks disasters or problems, or that God prevents evils from occurring within it. What distinguishes a Holy Family is their Faithfulness and Love for each other, despite these difficulties. And this is where the treasure lies."

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins


Because of our family size I quadrupled this recipe. Makes about 4 dozen. These freeze well too.


Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

3 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
8 eggs
3 cups pumpkin
1 cup water
6 cups all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoons ground cloves
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups semisweet mini morsels

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400*. Grease and flour muffin pan or use paper liners. (I just PAM it)

Mix sugar, oil, eggs. Add pumpkin and water. In separate bowl mix together the baking flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices and salt. Add wet mixture and stir in chocolate chips.

Fill Muffin cups 2/3 full with batter. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

They look good.

Rachel, I imagine zucchini would work well. If you can find the mini morsel chocolate chips those work best! Let me know how the zucchini works for you.
