Pumpkin (chocolate chip!) Muffins

Pumpkin is one of the most useful ingredients in the kitchen of those with food allergies and gluten intolerance. It helps retain moisture, improves texture, and is fairly neutral in flavor.
I love combining pumpkin with chocolate, though this recipe can be made without chocolate chips.
Either way, these muffins are tender and delicious!
