This recipe is a fall family favorite. When the colorful leaves of Amish Country start to drift off the trees, I get frequent requests for these muffins. Since they are easy to make and the clean-up is a snap, I don’t mind making them at all. Sometimes, I get an assembly line going in the kitchen so that we can get them made even quicker – many hands make light work! Plus, it leaves us more time for family fun or time for me to relax on the window seat with my dog. My family especially enjoys eating these muffins with a latte or hot apple cider while we sit around the table putting together a seasonal puzzle! These pumpkin muffins are moist, fluffy and extremely tasty. The dark chocolate chips give them a little shot of creamy cocoa goodness that makes for a melt in your mouth muffin. The most difficult thing about these muffins is stopping myself from eating more than 1… or 2… or 3… ENJOY!
