These muffins are great as a super filling grab-and-go breakfast. The pumpkin and chocolate chips taste yummy together and serve as a tasty spin on typical bran muffins. These are thick, dense muffins and do a great job keeping you full for breakfast or a snack. My mom came up with this recipe and any time she mentions she made these I seem to turn up to visit within a day or so. It’s a not a coincidence. Thanks Mom!
