I find it hard to believe, but I have never shared a made from scratch recipe for pumpkin chocolate chip muffins! I have shared a couple of recipes that start with a cake mix. Also, I have shared a few other recipes with other mix ins, but not a straight forward recipe with chocolate chips included.

Now this muffin recipe has a secret ingredient that helps to make them amazingly moist. It’s dry vanilla pudding mix! Pumpkin muffins are usually tender and moist to begin with simple because of the pumpkin in the muffin. However, the pudding mix just makes these muffins even better.

There is a good amount of cinnamon in these pumpkin muffins along with a little nutmeg. These are also not lacking in the chocolate department either. If you are adding in chocolate to a muffin, there should be plenty. At least that is what my husband says. I personally like semi-sweet chocolate chips. However, milk chocolate or even cinnamon chips will work too.
