I’ve been loving chocolate chips, and have been using them in a lot lately!
Enter these Autumn-Inspired Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins. These are an adaptation of a recipe Pumpkin’s teacher sent home with all the kids to try. I did actually bake them, but then remembered that we are now in October and I should be in full-on pumpkin mode. So I subbed in pumpkin purée for the applesauce from the original recipe. I had no clue how they would turn out, but I’m happy with the results!

Hey there, sorry for the late reply. Your comment ended up in my spam folder for some reason 😒 These muffins are super easy–I’m sure a baking ninja like you could whip them up in no time!
I love pumpkin anything this season and these look great!!
Last year I made the mistake of not trying enough pumpkin recipes, so I’m trying to make up for it now 😛 I’m sure you would really enjoy these muffins.
Would definitely try this Jen. Choco chip muffins are always in Must buy list for my son. I would love to make it on my own.
You should, Snowlin! It’s such a great recipe, especially for those who aren’t really into baking. Go for it 🙂
