Whole Wheat Pumpkin Chocolate Chunks Muffins

 As i told earlier,being a member of Baking Partners we get three different recipes for our every month's challenge, obviously we can bake anything from those three recipes, i have already posted an incredible Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcake with orange cheese cream frosting suggested by Priya. Coming to this fabulous looking muffins, it was suggested by Reshmi of Easy Cook from Joy of Baking. Actually this muffins goes for all purpose flour,chocolate chips but i went for whole wheat flour and finely chopped dark chocolate bar.

These muffins came out extremely soft and quite addictive, chocolate chunks in this muffins brings a wonderful texture while having this muffins and obviously all the spice powder used in this muffins completely masked the smell of the pumpkin puree. I prepared my pumpkin puree myself, by cooking them in boiling water and pureed once they get cooled without any water. You can also use canned pumpkin puree for making this muffins, definitely you guys have to try this muffins atleast once.
