Happy Remembrance Day! I’m so thankful for every sacrifice that our soldiers and their families made for us…the future generations!<\/p>\n

Today I have a blogger friend filling in for me. I know you’ll be as giddy as I was when I saw what she was sharing! It’s Katie from the amazing Chocolate-Covered Katie site! I love this girl…maybe because I now know I’m not the only one who eats chocolate with breakfast. Anyway, without further ado….welcome Katie!Hi chocolate chips!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m Katie, of the blog: Chocolate-Covered Katie<\/a>, and I\u2019m so honored Charissa asked me to write a guest post for her super-beautiful blog. (Aren\u2019t\u00a0her pictures gorgeous?)<\/p>\n

With Fall in full swing, I figured I\u2019d share a pumpkin recipe today:<\/p>\n

\"pumpkin<\/a><\/p>\n

This recipe makes just ONE pumpkin muffin.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s delicious\u2026 much too delicious for sharing!<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Muffin<\/strong><\/p>\n

(can be gluten-free!)<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. 3 T flour (See directions below, for flour notes)<\/li>\n
  2. 1 T canned pumpkin (or sweet potato, applesauce, or even butternut squash, if you can\u2019t find pumpkin)<\/li>\n
  3. pinch cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice<\/li>\n
  4. 1\/4 tsp baking powder<\/li>\n
  5. heaping 1\/16 tsp salt<\/li>\n
  6. 1\/2 T or more chocolate chips<\/li>\n
  7. sweetener, such as 1 T sugar or 1 packet stevia (If using liquid sweetener, cut back other liquid)<\/li>\n
  8. 1 T plus 1 tsp nondairy milk (or part oil, if you don\u2019t like the taste of fat-free baked goods)<\/li>\n
  9. 1\/4 tsp pure vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Directions: Preheat the oven to 330 degrees. (Alternatively, you can<\/em>microwave these.) Mix the ingredients and pour into an oiled (or sprayed) muffin pan. Smooth top of batter. Cook for 12-15ish minutes.<\/p>\n

    See the following for: Calories and Nutrition Facts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Notes on flour: I especially like the single-lady cupcakes with spelt flour. But you can use ww pastry, an equal mix of buckwheat and brown rice flours (for gf option), white flour, etc.<\/p>\n

    Want some cupcake with your frosting?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Go ahead and pile on a mountain<\/em> of healthy Vanilla-Fudge Frosting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    I promise I won\u2019t stop you. I will, however, ask that you save me a piece. Forget what I said before about not sharing this muffin. Everyone knows sharing is caring.<\/p>\n

    On my blog, I try to show that healthy food can taste amazing when it\u2019s prepared the right way. One shouldn\u2019t have to choose between good health and good taste; you can have your cake (preferably chocolate!) and eat it too.<\/p>\n

    Please do stop by sometime, at Chocolate-Covered Katie<\/a>, and say hi. I love meeting new bloggie or reader friends!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
