PUMPKIN BREAD MUFFINS
Follow the same directions. However, place batter into muffins tins without cupcake liners. Instead, spray tins with cooking spray and flour. Pour out excess flour before adding batter.
Bake for 26 minutes.
Note: Top muffins with chocolate chips. If making bread loaves, fold in 1-2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter.
