Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

On our honeymoon almost 13 years ago Bruce and I stayed at a cute bed and breakfast in Utah, The Castle Creek Inn.  Our first morning we were presented with a delicious breakfast which included pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.  Those muffins were so moist and yummy.

 One of my favorite memories from our honeymoon  is still those muffins.  We have stayed at The Castle Creek Inn twice since our honeymoon, but pumpkin chocolate chip muffins weren't on the menu.  A few weeks ago I was looking for a recipe to try to recreate those muffins.  I found a few different recipes and tried one of them,  the muffins were good, but not same.  So I decided to call up the Inn and ask if I could have their recipe for Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, to my surprise they gave it to me.   Tomorrow morning guess what my family is having for breakfast?  You guessed it, pumpkin chocolate chip muffin.

Here is the recipe for you to try and enjoy.
