: I believe it was sometime last year that one of the Magazines....either Country Woman's or maybe Taste of Home had a section on muffins. There was a chocolate chip/pumpkin muffin that was so moist. I have misplaced the recipe and would be greatful if someone could send me a copy of this wonderful recipe. It is one of the best muffins I have ever eaten.

PUMPKIN CHIP MUFFINS

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Muffins

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 eggs
1 1/2 c sugar
1 can pumkin ( 14 oz.)
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 c buttermilk
3 c flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon *
1 dash salt
1 c chocolate chips
1 c raisins

In a small bowl, whisk eggs, then whisk in sugar, pumpkin, oil and milk, until smooth. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients, except chips and raisins. Mix well to distribute evenly. Make a well in the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and chips and raisins all at once. Stir intil just combined, about 25 big stokes. (Over mixing makes them full of holes and tough textured.)
Spoon or use a 1/3 c. measure to fill well greased or paper lined muffin tins about 3/4 full. Bake in a preheated 400 deg. oven for 15 - 20 min. or browned and a toothpick when inserted, comes out dry and clean.
*More spices could be added if desired. These are not hightly spiced. The original recipe called for 1 1/2 c. of veg. oil, but I substituted buttermilk for part of that, to reduce the fat content. These muffins won first prize in Taste of Home Magazine.
