How to Make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
To make the muffins, you simply dump the ingredients into a bowl and mix. You don’t even need to use a mixer. Just a wooden spoon works great. But don’t over mix because I find that pumpkin, much like banana, can get a little gummy if mixed too much. Then just spoon the mixture into a muffin pan (can be lined with muffin/cupcake tins or not), and fill each cup to the top. You can swirl the top with a spoon to make it prettier if you like. The way they look going in is pretty much how they will look coming out. If you like, sprinkle the tops with some coarse sugar or a few extra chocolate chips to make them look fresh from the bakery. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees and let cool. It’s that simple. Your family will thank you for these!
I make these muffins several times every fall season, and I’ve been asked for the recipe so many times that I’ve started writing it on the container when I take them somewhere. They are delicious and taste like they must be from scratch, but no. That’s just not how I roll!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are an ooey, gooey taste of the pumpkin season! This is also the perfect recipe to let the kids help with. I hope you love them as much as we do!

I’m looking forward to trying these muffins! There’s been a run on canned pumpkin in my area (go figure!), but I’m going to try them with some homemade pumpkin purée I’ve got in the freezer. Thanks for the yummy inspiration!

Let me know how they turn out! There is a shortage here too but recently I had to go out of town and found it there. I bought 6 cans!!
