My Easy Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffin recipe is so easy because you can use a box mix! This recipe calls for either a pumpkin bread or muffin mix OR you can make the pumpkin muffins from scratch. The choice is yours and either way they come out amazing. When you have your mix you simply need to follow the directions on the back, but don’t forget to add chocolate chips! The best part!
