We occasionally go to the bagel shop, and my boys were really disappointed because they are no longer carrying the pumpkin muffins that were available in Oct/Nov. So I remembered seeing this recipe and decided to try it out. Success! Happy boys, happy husband. I’m even mailing some to a friend who loves pumpkin muffins, as well.

I had searched high and low for pumpkin, as well, when Crystal first posted this recipe. To my dismay, I found nothing! Thank you , thank you, thank you, for posting this alternative! Blessings!

I’d been trying to be healthy in my first trimester of my first pregnancy– so among other things, I bought some sweet potatoes, which I’ve only done maybe twice before. I could never bring myself to cook them- they were NOT appetizing to me in the least bit. I didn’t want to waste them, and I remembered seeing this post months ago– WOW, delish! Not quite as healthy but waaaay more palatable…. I mean, they have chocolate in them! I’m keeping this one in my recipe box!

Well I made your Sweet potato Chocolate Chip Muffins. I didn’t change a thing.
They are delicious!
I used Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Chips. (12 oz bag) (to die for)

My wife also makes both pumpkin and Sweet Potato pies with a (Cream Cheese)
bottom. You can hardly tell which is which. I actually prefer the Sweet Potato
Pie over the Pumpkin. My Son absolutely hates Sweet Potato plain , but he will
tear up both the sweet potato and pumpkin pie and doesn’t know the difference.
My wife also has a blueberry version with the Cream Cheese bottom.

Thanks so much for the sweet potato idea , I’ve been missing my canned pumpkin for baking! My kids loved these so this will be a great morning breakfast or snack just in time for back to school!

Hi Frugal Girl. My wife reads your blog and she recently made these and they were AMAZING!

The humidity is near 100% and heat indexes are 100+ here in the District, and these muffins made me long even more for the fall!

These are SOOOOOOO good. I make them & stick leftovers (or make a couple of batches-I’ll do mini muffins a lot too) in the freezer & then take them out to let them thaw out. They freeze well & still taste great.

If I need them dethawed a little faster I take them out of the freezer bag, put them on a plate & pop them in the microwave on the defrost: fish setting (doesn’t get quite as hot) for about 4 minutes for regular sized muffins, 2-3 minutes for minis.

The last time that I made these I actually cut the sugar back to 1 1/2 c. I had the be sure that I didn’t leave them in for too long b/c they would get a little more dried out but they were still moist when I didn’t leave them in for too long.
