Pumpkin Dark Chocolate Muffins

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Pumpkin season is the best season! I’m that girl that stocks my pantry with pumpkin everything as soon as August arrives. Pumpkin donuts, pop-tarts, cereal, pie, brownies, cookies, coffee…I’ll practically try pumpkin flavored anything. I really enjoy experimenting with different pumpkin dessert, breakfast and drink recipes this time of year. I wanted to share with you all my go-to muffin recipe, pumpkin dark chocolate muffins.

    I totally do the same thing – I stock my kitchen with all things pumpkin once the season hits. I love how you made them marbled rather than doing just pumpkin muffins with dark chocolate chips!
