3 Pumpkin Muffin Choices!

#1 Pumpkin muffins stuffed with a sweetened cream cheese are the real deal.  Of course, it tastes like pumpkin cheesecake in muffin form and it's definitely got my tastebuds a-buzzin'! 

Seriously, you have to try these.  

#2 For some reason, my family loves the chocolate chips in pumpkin muffins and always demand them and it's not my urging, because you know how much I love chocolate!!!

Pumpkin and chocolate together is one of the most amazing combinations in muffins. The chocolate makes them rich and delectable tasting and they certainly rule!  You cannot resist!  Don't fight it!

#3 Of course, to make any of these variations happen, it all starts with really good pumpkin muffins that taste out of this world.  

This recipe is super easy to make and these muffins have the most perfect texture.  They're soft and fluffy, yet lush and will undeniably satisfy your pumpkin cravings.  No add-ins, but we were thinking, sometimes it's good to add a cream cheese frosting on the side. 

If you prefer your muffins chocked full of add-ins, go ahead and add in your favorites!  

Nuts, raisins, shredded carrot, shredded coconut, butterscotch chips, Nutella swirls, maybe?  It's your call. 

That's why I made 3 different kinds in one batch, for a variety of yum!

We love pumpkin, so it's no wonder we're giddy about this “CopyCat” Starbucks Pumpkin Pound Cake, Awesome Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies and this Amish Country Pumpkin Custard Pie!

These are great any time of the day, breakfast, on the go, snacking, it's all good!  Yummy Pumpkin Muffins - Includes Cream Cheese Stuffed & Chocolate Chip - Give 'em a try!
