Make breakfast great with these soft, rich Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins loaded with double chocolate and pumpkin.
Happy pumpkin season everybody, I love September and the social acceptability that it brings to use pumpkin in everything! Enter today’s recipe – these delicious, rich chocolate muffins loaded with miniature chocolate chips and pumpkin puree. The pumpkin adds a nice moistness and flavor to the muffins and eliminates the need for a whole stick of butter.
There is just something about fall time and muffins that go hand in hand, at least in my house. I love having something other than a bowl of cereal to reach for. Of course if you’re going to have muffins for breakfast and they aren’t loaded with fresh berries, chocolate is a MUST!
Soft, tender chocolate muffins that are sure to leave your family and friends reaching for just one more. These muffins are a delicious way to start your morning and make a great afternoon snack; I hope you’ll enjoy them, happy baking!
