For many years, pumpkin seemed to be relegated to the ranks of Halloween decorations and the occasional pie, but lately it?s moved on to the dinner table, coffee mug and breakfast bowl.? It seems that every time I log onto to Facebook or Twitter, someone somewhere is talking about consuming some sort of pumpkin something-or-other. And Pinterest is completely chock full of pictures of pumpkin porn ? pumpkin soup, pumpkin cinnamon rolls, pumpkin bread and even pumpkin chai smoothies. I?m totally guilty of hopping on the pumpkin hayride too with with these pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. These muffins contain pumpkin, which is chock full of vitamins, minerals and healhty compounds, and they're free of white flour and oil so they're healthier than most baked goods. Plus they contain chocolate chips, so what more could you ask for!
