"OH MY GOSH !" squealed Queen B.
Teenage son #1 comes running in the kitchen.
"What happened mom?!"
Queen B can't talk. Her mouth is full. She just hands her son a muffin using hand signals to indicate that he should try one.
"mmmmm" said son #1.
Son #2 enters the kitchen....... grabs a muffin and takes a bite.
"When are you going to make these again ? " He said, staring at 20 muffins still left on the platter.
Son # 2 finds son #3 and hands him one..."Mmmmmmm" he said.
Daughter is sitting next to Queen B and said hers was 'yumma-licious'.
This was an ACTUAL EVENT that took place last night ! Really... I never get too excited over my cooking, but HELLO ! BEST MUFFIN I EVER ATE. Yep. I'm not kidding. Cindy Middleton of Champion, Alberta was awarded the grand prize in Taste of Home's muffin bake off.
Pumpkin Chip Muffins - Taste of Home prize winning recipes, 2005.
4 eggs2 cups sugar
1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
1-1/2 cups canola oil
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips ( I used milk-chocolate chips)
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, pumpkin and oil until smooth.
Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to pumpkin mixture and mix well.
Fold in chocolate chips. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full.
Bake at 400° for 15 -18minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. ( mine only took 15 min ). Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
Yield: about 2 dozen muffins.
And don't forget, it's DIY Day over at a soft place to land !

Mmmmm! You are making me want to go make those right now! I bet those muffins didn't last long! Do you realllllly recommend that Molasses cookie recipe. Want to make sure they are really good...going to send them to my dad in Alabama! XXXOOXX
Teresa,
YES, YES, YES I recommend those Molasses cookies.
My BOYS BEG me to make them.
My mother makes them.
I ONLY post recipes that are FAVORITES HERE. I will NEVER post a recipe I'm not crazy about.
They are included in our Christmas cookie baking week........I can hardly wait to bake them again.
Perfect with a cup of tea or coffee...or coco !
Thanks Queen B!
How fun that you make your "traditional" recipes for Christmas! Our family does the same thing...the Christmas Season doesn't officially begin until we have our Christmas Cookies (roll out cookies...almond flavor...lots of sprinkles & red hots...candied cherries) and we have a yummmy spiced tea recipe we make up. When we can sip our spice tea with a Christmas Cookie on the side...the season is HERE! Going to copy the Molasses Cookie recipe now...oh and about BEBE Darling...what a doll-baby...she needs to come and play with Doogan...oh how he would enjoy her cuteness!
Can't wait to make those! Sound so yummy!
Janet
They sound delish! I think I will make them tomorrow while I am baking anyways. Do you have any pear recipes? I have a tree FULL of them waiting for me to make something fabulous with them!
Son and daughter tested (or was that tasted?)...and heartily approved. What better recommendation! I will be making these tomorrow... Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Jane (artfully graced)
They look so good. Never had anything sweet with pumpkin in it before - I may need to give this a try!
Looks so yummy. Will add this in my to do list.
Yummy looking and I'm sure they are wonderful, too :) I will most likely be baking these soon - maybe for the holidays....sounds a bit like my pumpkin bread I make every year but better!!
