INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Prep

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and grease or line the muffin tin. We used a mini-muffin tin.

  2. Combine dry ingredients

    Add flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt to a food processor. Mix. (Or you can just mix in a bowl.)

  3. Add butter

    Cut butter into a few pieces and add to flour mixture. Pulse until the butter is pea sized or smaller. (If doing by hand, cut the butter in with a pastry knife.)

    Dump the flour-butter mixture into a large bowl.

  4. Combine wet ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin, half-and-half, egg, and vanilla.

  5. Mix dry and wet mixtures together

    Dump pumpkin mixture into flour mixture. Fold until mixture is just combined.



    Add chocolate chips and fold in.

  6. Fill muffin tin

    Spoon the mixture into your greased muffin tin, filling each about half full.
