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 :)
