Today, I needed to feel a little bit of fall.

I seem to be clinging onto summer.

I walk around with capris, and flip flops on, as if it's not getting cold outside. But it is cold outside. The leaves have changed, and are starting to fall off. I need to embrace fall, before it's gone. It is my favorite season after all.

So, I made chocolate chip pumpkin muffins.And they were delish.

What you need:

• 1 cup white flour
• 1 cup whole-wheat flour
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 TBS dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

What you do:

• Preheat oven to 350
• Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl.
• Divide into 12 greased muffin tins
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.

Here's what I'm thinkin'

• Makes 12 muffins
• Calories: 250 for 1 muffin
  

These were just what I needed! They filled my house with the
heavenly aroma of fall....Fall is now my new best friend :)
