Pumpkin Chip Muffins

4 eggs

2 C sugar

16 oz can pumpkin

1 ½ C canola oil

3 C flour

2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp salt

2 C semisweet chocolate chips

In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar, pumpkin and oil until smooth. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; add to pumpkin mixture, mix well. Fold in chocolate chips. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups ¾ full. 400* 16-20 minutes. Yields 24.

*1 ½ cups is a lot of oil! I've reduced it to 1 cup with pretty good results. I've also tried substituting apple sauce in different amounts, but they are really best with at least ¾ cup oil.
