Recipe For Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

I happened to find that my local Walmart sells just about every kind of Watkins extract known to man. Before I could think about the sanity of doing so, I threw them ALL into my cart and headed to the cashier. When I got home, I found that in my crazed frenzy, I had inadvertently put two caramel extracts into my cart. That didn’t seem to be a big problem, but I knew I wouldn’t have to hoard that particular flavor.

I needed to make some pumpkin cupcakes for my little girl’s class. I grabbed a can of ready made vanilla frosting and added 1/2 tsp of the caramel flavor. WOO-EE! That made an amazing difference in the flavor. I am going to add other flavors in the future, but for these muffins, I used the rest of the caramel flavored stuff. You don’t have to frost them at all. They are great plain, but the little bit of icing was a treat.
