My wife has been begging me lately to make her something with pumpkin in it so I decided to make her some Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. She was very happy with them so I decided to share the recipe with all of you.
I’ve previously posted recipes for Pumpkin Muffins as well as Pumpkin Bread, but I think this is the first time I add chocolate chips to one of my pumpkin baked goods.

I really like the addition of the chocolate chips to this pumpkin muffin recipe. Chocolatey goodness makes everything taste better right? Next time I might try using raisins instead of chocolate chips. But we all know my wife doesn’t care for raisins.
