Ok I dug this recipe out of the archives here and changed it a bit to make it less calories...OMG these are SO GOOD!!

INGREDIENTS:
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil **I subbed applesauce instead, about 3/4 cup for added moisture**
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour **I used GF flour- Bobs Red Mill**
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400. Grease a muffin tin.

2. Mix oil, sugar, and eggs in a bowl with a spoon. When mixed, incorporate the pumpkin puree and water. In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt. When combined, add the wet mixture to the dry mixture. Mix well to make sure it's all combined; add chocolate chips.

3. Spoon mixture into the muffin tins. I use an ice cream scoop, which always ends up being the right amount. You want the cups to be 2/3 full.

4. Bake for 20 minutes. **I found they were done in my oven in 18 min**

With my substitutions it came out to 159 calories per muffin, makes 12.
