Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Streusel Muffins
Tall and fluffy pumpkin chocolate chip streusel muffins are beautifully studded with chocolate chips in every bite. They have a buttery sugar streusel sprinkled on top which crisps up while baking, creating the perfect muffin top.

- These muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days, or in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week!
