Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins-adapted from Taste Of Home

I love this recipe! It is probably one of my favorite muffin recipes to date! A loves it when I make "baby muffins". He gobbles them right up, not knowing they are very healthy for him. I get about 2 dozen "baby muffins" and 1 dozen regular size muffins. Quick and easy!
