Seasonal... chocolatey... delicious!

Yield:  About 12 regular sized muffins or 6 large muffins.

Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Streusel Topping:

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour

1 tsp cinnamon

2 tbsp melted butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a muffin pan or use paper liners.

Mix sugar, oil, eggs.  Add pumpkin and water.  In a separate bowl, mix together the baking flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.  Mix in the wet ingredients and then fold in the chocolate chips.
