Soft and fluffy chocolate chip pumpkin muffins that are soo good they’ll knock your socks off! Ok, maybe not literally, but this is the only pumpkin muffing recipe you’ll ever want to make! Normally its sooo easy to over mix muffins. I am the master at this, I get carried away very easily and all the sudden its stale hard muffins for me. Darn, and its not even that its happened only once. It’s happened a lot, more than I’d like to admit. My point to this is that its very hard to over mix this recipe, which is great if you have little helpers! This recipe takes a full can of pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling), but it also makes 28 muffins. What are you going to do with 28 muffins you ask?! Eat them, eat them all! Or freeze some of them. Because really, how can you say no to a pumpkin muffin.. especially when there are chocolate chips involved. Once you’ve experienced the amazing scent of these baking through out your house, you won’t be able to wait to taste them. Using oil in this recipe instead of butter increases the amount of moisture in these muffins. Which is great because even on day 2 or 3 these muffins are still tender and moist. Eat these pumpkin muffins with your cup of joe in the morning, or for an afternoon snack. Either way you are going to love them!
