Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Muffins!!! What a great way to start a Fall day. A warm muffin and a steamy mug of hot chocolate. I love that combination and nothing is better in Fall than hot chocolate with a pumpkin chocolate chip muffin. I found this recipe a while ago and the author says that this is the only recipe you will ever need for Pumpkin Muffins and I think she is right. This is the only recipe I ever use and it is always a crowd pleaser. There is nothing I would change with these. They make 2 dozen beautifully round-topped muffins and when you press the chocolate chips into the top before baking they come out looking like perfection.
Funny story, I say these make 2 dozen and for the most part that is true. But I have found that these muffins like to make more of themselves when I need to bring muffins to someone. Any time I end up with more than 2 dozen from this recipe, I get a call that someone needs something and I have the exact amount of extra muffins to take treats where they are needed. It might sound a little strange, but I cannot explain how a recipe that normally makes 24 muffins will make 31 when a family of 7 needs something to make them smile. It's almost like these muffins are meant to be shared.
