Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins

We have had a very productive garden this year

but it is slowly coming to an end.

This is all there was a few weeks ago.

I had to come up with something  to use lots of pumpkin in.

Hmmmm

Chocolate and pumpkin muffins sound so good.

I sliced the pumpkin in half and scooped out all the inside.

Baked at 350 in a roasting pan for 1 hour of until tender

Cut the rinds off and pureed.

This very easy work, I did it all while talking on the phone to my friend Lisa.

Just in case you were wondering what I do while I cook.

Then I bagged it up in 2 cup bags and froze, to bake with all year long

After all that was done

I got busy making the muffins

Ingredients:

                                                          2 cups pureed pumpkin (canned is fine)
                                                          3 eggs

Yes, Kellie and I know we are posting the same thing.

Great minds think alike.

We did not plan it but are not surprised.

We seem to think alike.
