Pumpkin Pie Muffins

3 1/2 c. flour (I add in several tablespoons of wheat germ, you can also use 1/2 whole wheat)
2 t. baking soda
1 t. baking soda
2 t. pumpkin pie spice
1 t. salt
2 c. white sugar
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. plain yogurt
4 eggs
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
1/2 c. water
1 c. chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Sift together the flour, soda, baking powder, salt & pumpkin pie spice, set aside.

In a mixer, whip the butter, yogurt & sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Stir in pumpkin. Add the water alternately with the flour mixture until mixed. Stir in chocolate chips.

Spoon batter into greased muffin cups, bake for 13-15 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
