PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS
Everyone I have ever served these to rants about them. I have made some modifications to make them a little healthier. That recipe is Recipe #2509. Either way though, we love them. (Recipe updated to add vanilla, more cinnamon and reduce oil slightly (original calls for 1 1/2 cups oil) since we prefer them with these alterations.)
