FitSugar is one of my favorite health and fitness sites. They always have great workout tips, fitness dvd and gear reviews, healthy recipes, etc. FitSugar recently posted a recipe for Oatmeal, Dark Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins. Due to the fact that as soon as the fall weather sets in I become pumpkin obsessed I had to try them right away (plus who doesn't love dark chocolate). I made them this weekend to have for either breakfast or a snack before workouts throughout the week. They are delicious and will definitely be a staple for me this fall and winter. Check them out and let me know what you think!
