We love muffins especially now that my boys are responsible for taking snacks to school. Nothing better than sending along a batch of fresh homemade muffins for the class. Easy, compact and nutritious. These muffins are so moist and delicious you will end up making double batches to ensure you get one.
This recipe was created by Gina at SkinnyTaste.com – a food blog you MUST read if you aren’t already. Her food is fantastic and good for you too. I modified the recipe slightly using less chocolate chips and exchanging white sugar for raw sugar.

I bookmarked this and will be making these. Pumpkin and low fat are a great combination this time of year when we tend to overeat. I guess Pumpkin Pie would be my favorite Pumpkin recipe.
