Gluten Free Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins
Makes 12 standard muffins
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/3 cup pureed pumpkin
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/3 – 1/2 cup of milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoons cinnamon
pinch of salt
1 cup GF flour mix
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks
1/3 cup cocoa nibs

Directions:

1. Preheat your over to 375F.
2. Cream together butter, cream cheese and sugar.  Add pumpkin and mix again.
3. Add eggs and 1/3 cup of milk.  Mix again.  (Reserve the remaining milk for the end, if you need it at all.)
4. Add vanilla, cinnamon, salt, GF flour mix, baking powder and cocoa powder.  Mix again.
5. Check your consistency.  If  it is thin (like cake batter) DON’T add the extra milk.  If it is thicker than a regular muffin batter, add the remaining milk.
6. Stir in the chocolate chunks and cocoa nibs.
7. Fill muffin cups 2/3 of the way.
8. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until completely baked through and set.  (A toothpick test should only have ooey-gooey chocolate from the melted chunks, not batter goo if they are done.)  Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 – 10 minutes before eating.
