Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins - 2 Stage Process

My family just LOVES these muffins and I have been experimenting with converting it to a more healthy recipe using the 2-stage process of soaking the flour. Well...I did it! My first batch came out of the oven this morning and they are delicious! Here is the recipe:

PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS
Using the 2-Stage Process

The Day Before, mix up the following in a plastic bowl, cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and let sit out on the counter until the next morning. (I actually start these a whole 24 hours before I want to bake them. Allowing the flour to soak for 24 hours gives you the best nutritional benefit! So…get this soaking the morning before you want them for breakfast.)

3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup buttermilk (can use homemade)
1 cup honey
1/2 cup butter, melted

The Next Morning:

Add the following and mix well with a mixer until the batter is smooth and the lumps of flour are gone:

4 eggs
1 15-oz. Can pumpkin

Next, mix in the rest of the dry ingredients with the mixer:

2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon sea salt

Then stir in the chocolate chips:

2 cups chocolate chips

Put in greased muffin tins (see note below). Bake at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes.

Yield: 24 muffins

Note: I like to use the silicone (rubber-like) muffin pans. You don't have to grease the pans at all and the muffins pop right out! The muffins also bake very evenly and nice in these pans.

You will LOVE these muffins! They are so good!

I am coming along on the book. I printed it last night to read over. It is well over 200 pages! I thought of another section I want to add, so I'll be working on that today. I hope to have this done by the end of the week so I can offer it in my March newsletter.

Thanks for your thoughts and encouraging words!

In Christ,
Sheri
