Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins are the perfect coffee shop or bakery style treat you’ll love all year round, full of tangy, sweet and warm flavors. Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins are kid sister to the Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread I posted on Saturday. Why am I making this a separate post you ask?

A: Different quantity of ingredients unless you want 48 cupcakes! B: Different method of assembly and mixing of batters. C: Different baking times.

Basically hey these muffins are a different animal to the bread. These beauties are quicker, more portable, able to be served to large crowds easily and oh, by the way they freeze amazingly. Plus can you really tell me if you were offered one of these delicious muffins you would turn them down?
