I officially caught the pumpkin spice fever. I don’t drink coffee anymore, but I discovered the Pumpkin Spice Steamer from Starbucks, it’s a combination of steamed milk and the pumpkin spice flavoring topped with whipped cream. I think it’s even better than the good ‘ol Pumpkin Spice Latte. Then there’s the plethora of pumpkin spice teas that I have to have every morning. I’m addicted, what can I say? Fall is a gorgeous season and I love to celebrate it.
Now if you know me, you know my love for a good muffin. So of course I had to make Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip muffins. Everyone in our family loves muffins, but these muffins, they were the biggest hit that I’ve ever had. They were gobbled down in record time, and oh so good.
Working with pumpkin puree always baffles me a little, the batter never looks like…well, batter. It just looks like pure pumpkin puree, but somehow when you bake these in the oven they turn into perfect little pumpkin spice chocolate chip muffins.
Your whole family will thank you for this recipe. You can even enjoy these pumpkin spice chocolate chip muffins with your favorite pumpkin spice latte or pumpkin spice flavored tea if you’d like.
