Chocolate Chip Pumpkin "Pancake" Muffins

It doesn't get much easier than this.

Throw a bunch of ingredients into a bowl, mix them up, put them in a pan, and bake. That's it.

I don't know if I could handle much more than that on a beautiful Saturday like the one we're having today.

To check if the muffins are done baking, stick a knife or a toothpick into the middle of one. If it comes out clean, they're done! (Note: If there's some melted chocolate on the knife, that's okay - as long as there's no batter).

I made these last Sunday ... I ate one immediately, then wrapped the pan in foil and put it in the fridge. I took one to work each day for breakfast. They taste especially good if you microwave them for 10-20 seconds before eating ... the chocolate gets all melty and delicious and perfect.

I plan on doing the same thing this week with the batch I just made.

That's really it. This might be the easiest recipe I've ever created.

Until next time!
