Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

These pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are cake-like with a delicate spice flavor. You can add chunks of chocolate, chopped nuts, or different dried fruit like raisins if desired. Add them to your list of pastries perfect for brunches and continental breakfast parties as well. They stay moist for a long time because of the pumpkin in the batter.
