These chocolate chip pumpkin muffins are a constant hit on my blog. It takes less than 30 minutes to bake, and the best part is, these pumpkin muffins are under 200 calories! Much lighter than bakery or Starbucks muffins. Most pumpkin recipes use at least 1/2 cup butter or oil, but only 2 tablespoons for the entire batch. Thanks to canned pumpkin, it’s moist without using any butter or oil.
