yes!!!! these things are soooo good! mix well 1 can (or 2 cups) pumpkin, 1 1/2 cups veg.oil, 4 eggs, and 2 cups sugar. seperately mix 3 cups flour, 2 tsp. baking soda, 2 tsp. baking powder, 2 tsp. cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Add wet ingredients to dry and then fold in about 3/4 of a package of chocolate chips. Bake in muffin cups high heat about 375 for 15 minutes or so. Yum! You wouldn't believe how good these are:) !

Yummmm! These sound delicious Beth. Going to bake some of them up this week. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Beth, do you think this would work with whole wheat flour? Also, have you tried it using a loaf pan instead of the muffin cups, wondered if it would still work. I'm just lazy about filling all those muffin cups. I'm a reluctant cook! Annie in SE OH.

Yum is right, Beth! Anyone who hasn't tried the pumpkin/chocolate combo needs to. It's wonderful, I have a cookie recipe with the pumpkin & chocolate chips, my 8 yr. old prefers them over regular chocolate chip cookies, & everytime I take them somewhere I get requests for the recipe. They're soft & cake-like. Now I'll have to try the muffins:-)

Annie, I'm with you on the muffin cups! I think the bread pans would be worth a try. I think I'll give it a shot!

Annie, I've never tried the pan recipe; but as for whole wheat I would half and half it; whole wheat is "heavier", also adding just a touch more of the leavening agents; also I had made variations of this same recipe without the chocolate, but using whatever I had handy: grated carrots, pineapple, sunflower seeds, nuts, etc.:)

Thank you Beth, I'll give it a try! :-)
