Inspired by a couple cans of organic pumpkin I found on my pantry shelf, I made these amazing muffins.

I’ve made the recipe twice now (per kids request- always a good thing!)  The second time I split the batter into two parts- adding raisins to half of the recipe and chocolate chips to the other half.  This recipe has whole wheat flour, ground flax seed and 1 1/2 Cups of pumpkin and is delicious.

I plan to serve them in the morning for breakfast with some low fat yogurt.
