These muffins are my favorite! They are also relatively healthy, made with whole wheat flour. They can be made vegan by replacing the chocolate chips with carob chips. I adapted this recipe from the Vegan Lunch Box web site

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup water
