You can make these in your stand mixer or in a bowl with a hand mixer or you can just stir them up by hand. 
First you combine the sugars and the liquids until nicely combined. Then you add the dry ingredients. And then you fold in the chocolate chips. Spoon into your prepared muffins tins and bake.

Baking them at 425 for 5 minutes and then turning down the heat to 350 degrees for 17 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test. The high heat at the beginning is the way to get beautifully smooth muffin tops. 
Cool and enjoy! These pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are so moist and delicious, you’ll think you’re eating cake. So good!
