PUMPKIN MUFFINS 
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 lb (16 oz.) pumpkin (fresh or canned)
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. salt
2 cups chocolate chips or peanut butter chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Beat eggs, sugar, pumpkin, and oil until smooth. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt.

Add to pumpkin mixture and mix just until combined (to avoid tough muffins, do not over-mix).

Fold in chips (if using). Fill muffin cups 3/4 full.

Bake for 16-20 minutes.

When using fresh pumpkin, be sure it is well drained. Variation: add chopped apples dredged in cinnamon sugar instead of chips.
