I make these muffins all of the time. As a matter of fact, they are my children’s favorite! Canned pumpkin is so easy to find in the grocery store these days, so there is no reason that these cannot be made year round. They are great for breakfast or even a quick snack. The moist pumpkin mixed with semi sweet chocolate chips is a wonderful combination! This recipe makes 24 muffins, so you should be able to freeze some too:)
