Another addition to the array of muffins on this blog...I think there are 25 variations..I had roasted some pumpkin and thought it would be nice in some muffins.
Using my new immersion blender, I whizzed the pumpkin with some apple to make a puree.
Added some spices (cardamom, cinnamon, clove, ginger & nutmeg), a handful of pecans and a handful of 60% chocolate chips.
These muffins are quite dense. I didn't put a lot of oil (1 teaspoon) using the apple as a way to keep things moist.
I also put in a little milk (1 tablespoon).
The amount of pumpkin turned out to be a little too much which probably added to the density.
Still, it was delicious though I think it could have used a little more spice, and I loved the orange color.

So awesome you're putting that immersion blender to use! I love this bright colour too. And I love the name you gave it :) I think I need to start muffin-making soon, it's that kind of weather!

You are the queen of the muffins. I am having a craving for banana chocolate chip muffins right now. Hopefully I will get to making them tomorrow. ;-)
Debinhawaii, ooh I haven't made banana chocolate in awhile, may have to buy some bananas :)
