Pumpkin Chocolate chip muffins


Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
from Mel B.

1 2/3 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 T. pumpkin pie spice**
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 c. pumpkin puree
1/2 c. butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 c. chocolate chips

Mix first six ingredients together in large bowl. Make a well and add eggs, pumpkin and butter. Mix just until incorporated, then fold in chocolate chips. Pour into greased muffin tin (or use muffin liners). Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Don't overbake or they will be dry!

**My tip: if you don't have pumpkin pie spice, use the following combination: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ginger, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon cloves. Mix together and woila! - you have the equivalent of 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (and it is much cheaper than buying it premade). So for this recipe, you would need to triple the above amounts to equal one tablespoon pumpkin pie spice.

So, if I wanted to make this recipe with a whole can of pumpkin, how much would I need to adjust the rest of the recipe?
