Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

In the spirit of fall here's a wonderful recipe that I just received from a friend.  I made my first batch of them yesterday, and since the kids ate them all as soon as they were cool enough to eat I am making a second batch today and hoping that they last a little bit longer.

1 2/3 C flour
1 C sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 eggs
1/2 C melted butter
1 C pumpkin
6 oz chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Mix flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon.  Add eggs, pumpkin, melted butter (that has cooled slightly), mix well.  Add chocolate chips, stir.  Pour or spoon into greased muffin tins and cook for 20 minutes or until done (do not overbake).
My friend included the note that if you can actually have any left over, once they are completely cooled you can freeze them and then just pull them out and microwave them for 20sec. for a great after school snack.  Obviously I haven't tried this step as there were none left when I made them.
Happy Fall!
