Whole Wheat Pumpkin, Walnut, & Chocolate Chip Muffins

I may or may not have eaten 2 or 3 of these immediately after baking them. I've been on the near-constant hunt for healthier alternatives to heavy muffins, & I'm not sure these are really "them" but they are quite a treat & don't contain any processed sugar (yah!)

Whole Wheat Pumpkin, Walnut, & Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1/2 cup demerera

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

3/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs

3/4 cup canned pumpkin

1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce

1/4 cup honey

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Grease muffin pans or line them with liners. In a large bowl or mixer, mix the flour, demerara, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, & salt. Make a well in the center & put in the  eggs, pumpkin, apple sauce, & honey. Mix just until the dry ingredients are absorbed. Mix in nuts & chips. Spoon into muffin pan until they are 2/3 full. Bake for 18 minutes or until a tooth pic comes out clean.
