You must be careful not to spoil too much!!! After these muffins he won't be looking for anymore cake mixes!
ReplyDeleteI love pumpkin year round too!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and sweet story. I'm filling up here.....!
ReplyDeleteyummmmmm... I hate that pumpkin is thought of as autumn only, so I love you for posting this recipe!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous. They sound delicious. Homemade muffins are the best. It amazes me how you come up with such great stuff!
ReplyDeleteFireworks and booze? Now I would love to hear about that story. Nice moist looking muffins!
ReplyDeletePumpkins and chocolate, two ingredients that should never go out of style. I agree with the previous comment, I think he'll probably never go back to cake mixes again :P.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, and the recipe sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you couldn't find the mix!!! It MUST be love for you to have been willing to make pumpkin cake from a mix.
ReplyDeleteThose look good!
I love pumpkin ANY time of year -- add chocolate chips and it's even better!! I bet those muffins are divine. Glad you had such a wonderful Valentine's Day :)
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Pumpkins should be an accepted ingredient for at least half the year, fall through winter.
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! A friend of mine passed on a recipe for pumpkin dark chocolate chip cookies a few years ago...made me a believer in the combo of pumpkin and choco too. ;-)
I love making new things with pumpkin. These look good and I just made something with pumpkin too!
ReplyDeleteThese look great. I've never tasted pumpkin and chocolate together before, but I'd bet it's a great combination. And good on you for making it from scratch!
ReplyDeleteI can't say what either President liked, but I'm pretty sure Washington had a sweet tooth...
I hope that certain someone knows how lucky he is:D
ReplyDeleteYum! Pumpkin...chocolate...Yum!
ReplyDeletemmm :)
ReplyDeleteNice, you teach that boy about cooking from scratch! :)
ReplyDeleteChocolate+Pumpkin = Goodness. I almost bought caned pumpkin yesterday...was thinking abut a bread pudding.
ReplyDeleteMmm. Serious spoilage going on here.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for pumpkin anything. It tastes great, it's good for you, and who can beat it with chocolate chips??
Oh Em! It's been ages since I've been here!! Don't worry- I'm scolding myself.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling Eric won't be looking for cake mix anymore....
So glad that you and The Boy had a nice V-Day!! And hooray for those muffins :-)
ReplyDeletePumpkin muffins sound good to me anytime. As far as spending so much at Starbucks, I used to do the same thing, always buying a cafe mocha. I still LOVE cafe mocha's and have discovered fantastic ones at McDonald's. They started selling them here about a year ago and they are just as good if not even better than Starbucks. They are also only $1.99!!! Try them if they are in your area and let me know what you think!
ReplyDeletetheselook so good. surely you ll be making these often , they re far better than cake mix :) I have to try chocolate and pumpkin, sounds good
ReplyDeleteI love baking with pumpkin - such a great way to add a nutritional boost! I just made a batch of pumpkin scones this morning, and have a bunch of pumpkin left over... perhaps I will give your muffins a try!
ReplyDeletePumpkin is good anytime of the year! The muffins look marvelous! Glad you had a nice V-day!
ReplyDeleteI love pumpkin, it is so moist and cuts down on all the fat.
ReplyDeleteI think chocolate goes with everything. The muffins look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteMy family eats pumpkin year round. As a matter of fact, I just had pumpkin pie yesterday!
i'm glad you and the valentine had a good holiday! nick and i are pretty low key on valentines - we got takeout and watched movies. i think it's kinda the best way to go.
ReplyDeleteglad you broke him of his box cake mix habit, too :)
I think pumpkin should be an all-year affair, too! I'm so glad you posted this: it redeems the pumpkin chocolate-chip loaf that I bought from Great Harvest Bread Co. the other day. The loaf part was great, but there were only chocolate chips on top! When you say chocolate chip to me, you better mean it! Luckily, I can just make your recipe for myself now!
ReplyDeletepumpkin is definitely year-round :) and love your idea for v-day!
ReplyDeletei've never understood why some people and groups reserve pumpkin only for the fall months. ridiculous. great muffins, and i'm glad you had a lovely valentine's day. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious! So glad that you added some chocolate in there!
ReplyDeleteLove the pumpkin/chocolate mix! Beautiful blog!
