Pumpkin Chocoalte Chip Muffins

I found this recipe here, and I thought it sounded pretty good. We gave it a try, and I liked it, but the entire crew didn’t love them. Considering -s doesn’t like much by the way of pumpkin, I discount his opinion on this recipe. Our 3 year old doesn’t like chocolate, at least in baked products (I know, shocking!), and our 2 year old liked it, but I won’t make something that only 2 of us will eat—especially since I didn’t love them.

But that’s not to say you won’t love them. Some people really like all things pumpkin-breads, muffins, pie etc. So, if you are a pumpkin lover, you’ll probably really enjoy these.
