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
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup cooking oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chip
3T cinnamon
1t salt
1/2t baking powder
1t baking soda
Mix and scoop into a muffin tin, bake a 350 for 20 min or until done
in the middle. Enjoy
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.

Yumm-O Girlfriend! Love, Traci
Delish! You should make chocolate pumpkin whoopie pies!
The bags of pumpkin ready for storing make me smile! Such a great idea and the pumpkin muffins look yummy! Have a great day.
Wow! I love how you drew a little pumpkin on each bag. I am going to have to buy a pumpkin simply so I can do this! It's too hot in Florida... you leave a pumpkin outside for a week and it is completely ROTTEN. That is one thing I miss about fall. Well, make that one of many things. I love your blog, Cha Cha!

My first batch of pumpkins are in the oven, let's see if this is as easy as you say!!!
Your chocolate pumpkin muffins are a must try! Love how you pureed your own pumpkin too :)
