There’s just something about a cool fall morning, where the leaves are turning colors and falling off the trees, and you just want a cup of coffee and a muffin. I love muffins for breakfast. Even more so, I like a muffin for breakfast when they have already been baked and are ready to be gobbled up. They are great on the go, and even better enjoyed in bed. In my mind, they are the ultimate comfort food. These chocolate chip pumpkin muffins can best be enjoyed with a pumpkin spice latte or, even better, a pumpkin ale!
These chocolate chip pumpkin muffins are everything you crave in a fall breakfast item. They are warm and sultry. They are the perfect bakery-style muffin. No seriously, they are just as good as a bakery muffin.
Muffins are easy, and can most of the time be made in one bowl. They keep for a couple of days and are perfect on the go. I highly recommend whipping up a batch sometime soon. You most certainly won’t regret it.
While you’re at…pair them with a pumpkin spice latte. ;)
…or for a more delicious pairing, pair with a pumpkin ale!
Beer: Dogfish Head’s Punkin Ale
Brewery: Dogfish Head
Style: Pumpkin Ale
Alcohol Content: 7.0%
Description: This pumpkin-style brown ale is a pumpkin beer lover’s dream ale. It is everything you crave in a pumpkin ale and so much more. What I love about Punkin is that it is sooooo much more than a pumpkin ale. It has so many other flavorful notes that sets it apart from many other beers that share the same style. Of course, I had to go with a pumpkin ale for this beer pairing, but it is because of this beer’s brown ale qualities that really sealed the deal. These muffins are bold and flavorful. They need a beer that’s bold enough to stand up to those bold flavors. At 7%, Punkin is the perfect way to go.
Have a great day everyone! Here’s the recipe!
