Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup honey
• 1 15-oz. Can pumpkin
• ½ cup butter, melted
• 1 cup applesauce
• 2 cups chocolate chips

Mix (sift) flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt. In a separate bowl mix eggs, honey (or sugar), pumpkin, melted butter, and applesauce. Combine wet and dry ingredients. When well mixed, add chocolate chips. Put in greased muffin tins (see note below). Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Yield: 24-30 muffins. These muffins freeze well too!

Note: I like to use the silicone (rubber-like) muffin pans. You don’t have to grease the pans at all and the muffins pop right out! The muffins also bake very evenly and nice in these pans.
