Pumpkin spice muffins

Parker has been struggling with what he wants to be for Halloween, he’s had no clue what he wants to be. A couple nights ago I suggested a “pimped out NBA player” like his older brother was one year.  I told him he could wear one of our many NBA jerseys, our afro wig and then all the fake “bling” we’ve got.He was totally excited and thanked me over and over for helping him come up with something. Earlier that same night I’d made my boys a chocolate peanut butter shake, which also made Parker really happy.  He told me that his love for me had reached the maximum level, but then quickly added “not that it wasn’t already at the maximum level mom!”  Thanks Parker! Glad to know your love for me is at the max level.pumpkin spice muffins

Speaking of the maximum level, these muffins definitely reach the max level of deliciousness for me, especially for being lowfat.  The recipe comes from my Looneyspoons cookbook where all the recipes have funny names and descriptions.  The cookbook’s name for these muffins is “Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice.”

Lowfat pumpkin spice muffins

These are moist and so delicious. I love the shredded carrots in them and of course, the chocolate chips too! If you don’t have mini, just go ahead and use regular chocolate chips. I actually used a little of each because I didn’t have enough mini ones. Also, I left the nuts out just because I’m not a huge fan of nuts in things, but add them if you’d like. Spread some butter on top and they taste even better because doesn’t butter make everything better?
