Anyone else try making the muffin recipe in the new ‘Triathlete,’ billed as Andy Potts’s Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins? My first batch just cooled, and these things are AWESOME!
Be advised, the recipe makes enough for ~18 muffins…or did for me. Not that that’s a bad thing. 
Saw them as well, was gonna make a batch tomorrow.
Can you link to recipe or post it for me? I looooove pumpkin and chocolate.
thanks.
I’ll have to try these as well.
I just watched an episode of No Reservations and Bourdain was in Chile… everything had pumpkin (Calabaza?) in it!

Andy Potts’ Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients
4 - Eggs
1.5 cups - Vegetable Oil
1.5 cups - Sugar
14 oz. - Pumpkin Pie Filling
3 cups - Flour
1 tbsp. - Cinnamon
2 tsp. - Baking Soda
2 tsp. - Baking Powder
1 tsp. - Salt
2 cups - Chocolate Chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 400*

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder.
Add the flour mixture to wet ingredients.
Add chocolate chips.
Spray muffin tin with cooking spray.
Spoon the batter into the muffin tin and bake for 15 minutes.
1.5 cups of oil and 1.5 cups of sugar. wow.
1.5 cups of oil and 1.5 cups of sugar. wow.
especially since pumpkin puree (not the sweetened filling - just pumpkin through a blender, though both would work) can actually be used as a substitute for all or most of the oil in a recipe. same with applesauce (unsweetened for preference).
cheers!

I haven’t tried the recipe as is and I believe the posters who claim the muffins are good, but I’d be willing to bet that they’d be even better if you used half cake flour and half all purpose flour. Perhaps substitute wheat flour for a bit of the remaining all purpose, too.
No, I meant wow as in “give me some of those damn muffins”!
I believe that I have heard of people substituting lowfat yogurt for oil in muffins as well but we will probably do our typical and make the recipe as given for our first attempt then experiment from there. Heading to the store this afternoon for the ingredients will report back. The cake flour is a good idea to try so is the whole wheat flour and applesauce, mmm lots of possibilities. I’m going to need to step up from the 70.3’s to full IM to burn all the calories if these taste as good as they sound!
