Pumpkin Chocolate Chip

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip - Oat Muffins

Breakfast-breakfast; what to have for breakfast? This morning as I lay in bed, my tummy was already growling - hungry before I even stepped a foot out of bed. Not a good sign LOL.

My best plan of action is always muffins. They mix up fast and I like them well enough that I don't miss the super size chocolate frosted and vanilla cream filled long john donut that I'm really craving (shhh...)!

Back to the muffins... I LOVE pumpkin everything. I especially love pumpkin chocolate chip muffins and bread. I tweaked my normal pumpkin chocolate chip muffin this morning and liked it so much that I wanted to share it with you. I subbed out 1/2 cup of the flour in the recipe for oats so that I would get a heartier muffin. I prefer muffins that taste like a muffin and not like a cupcake, ya know?? These muffins have the perfect texture now. Perfect!

Anyway, these muffins are DEEEEE...LICIOUS! They are lightly spicy and have all the delicious tastes of fall that we are all craving right now.

Here's how I made Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oat Muffins AT HOME MY WAY:

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip

Oat Muffins

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup applesauce (I omitted because I didn't have any)
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup quick oats (or regular oats)
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup oil
2 eggs (well blended)
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup canned pumpkin (1/2 of 15 oz can of pumpkin)
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 °.

Mix all dry ingredients (except chocolate chips) in a mixing bowl.

In another bowl, mix all wet ingredients, including pumpkin.

Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Add chocolate chips and stir to fully incorporate.

Spoon batter into paper lined or sprayed muffin cups/tin. I fill mine almost completely full.

Bake 20 - 25 minutes, or until lightly browning.

Note: These freeze well for later! Great for packing in lunches. Or take some out of the freezer the night before if you need a few for breakfast!

They would also be great for potlucks!

Enjoy!

Best Dill Pickles EVER! (Just like Claussen) (Easy - no canning!)

Do you want to make the best, easiest homemade dill pickles in the world? I found a recipe for dill pickles that tastes JUST LIKE Claussen refrigerator pickles. Those are the best anyway, right? That crunch, the dill and the garlic... and oh yea , the crunch! This recipe is super easy because you don't have to process these pickles which means there is no canning needed. You just fill a gallon jar (we use an old pickle jar) with fresh cucumbers and dill heads, and then pour over the cooled liquids/seasonings. Let it sit on the counter for three days, and then refrigerate. After that, the pickle eating begins. They are supposed to keep for one year like that in the fridge, without canning. (We let them sit for the 3 days, then refrigerated them overnight before opening the jar for the much anticipated first taste. Did they taste like Claussen? YOU BET YOUR PRETTY PICKLE THEY DID! We were all SO ex...

Buttermilk Biscuits - Just like Cracker Barrel!

RECIPES AT THE TOP - CHIT CHAT AT THE BOTTOM! Here's how we make Buttermilk Biscuits AT HOME MY WAY: Buttermilk Biscuits (just like Cracker Barrel) (Makes about 8 biscuits.) PRINTABLE RECIPE HERE Ingredients: 2 cups SELF RISING flour (self rising flour gives the perfect taste to homemade biscuits) 1/3 cup shortening (cold real butter also works here) 1 1/4 cup buttermilk* *NOTE: (If using regular milk combined with lemon juice vinegar referenced below, you only need 1 cup of milk because thinner regular milk uses less by volume than the thick real buttermilk.) Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. (Make sure your flour is "fluffed" not straight from the bag; Dump it in a larger container and stir using up and down motion to fluff it up a little bit-THEN measure out 2 cups). Measure 2 cups SELF RISING flour into a mixing bowl. Add shortening and cut it until small and crumbly. A fork works fine for this purpose ...
