Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

These are very tasty!  I like the combination of white flour and whole wheat flour.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
1 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon or pumpkin spice
1/2 tsp. salt
4 lg. eggs, slightly beaten
2 c. sugar
1 (15 0z) can pure pumpkin
1 c. vegetable oil
2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350.  Grease or line muffin tin with muffin cups.

Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl.  Combine eggs and sugar in a large bowl.  Add pumpkin and oil, mix well.  Stir into flour mixture until moistened.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.  Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched.  Cool in pans on wire racks for 5 minutes; remove from pans.

Makes: about 36 muffins
