Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

We have written about our mom’s famous pumpkin chocolate chip bread before. It is pretty much perfect in every way and when baked into muffin form it is no exception. These pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are soft, spiced, and packed with mini chocolate chips throughout. Plus, these are a one bowl muffin, so there is no reason not to make some this fall! 

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins Notes:

Spices: if you don’t have all the spices we list out, it’s not a problem. As long as there is cinnamon and nutmeg in the batter, it will be delicious.

Pumpkin: we really like Libby’s pumpkin for this. It’s the best one we have found and the one our mom and grandma always used. You can make your own but this is the exception to the rule–store bought pumpkin puree is better.
