Whole Wheat Pumpkin Chocolate Muffins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line muffin tins with paper cups (I only have one so I make these in batches, but you could use 3 to bake them all at once). Combine first 7 ingredients & stir to combine. In a separate large mixing bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips until combined. Carefully add the wet to the dry, mixing in the chocolate chips. Stir until just combined. Using a tablespoon, spoon mixture into muffin cups to about 3/4 full and bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

*These freeze beautifully for up to a month. To defrost just microwave for 10-15 seconds.
