Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are loaded with spices and gooey chocolate chips for a super easy 30 minute recipe perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack! Autumn Said! While is whipping up a batch of Pumpkin Chocolate chip muffins and loving the smell of the spices laying around on the countertop. Talking to herself is getting bored so she decides to enjoy some indie folk music while she talks out-loud the measurements to herself! I feel bad for people who hate pumpkin. She reminds herself why she loves it in the first place. This must be the most annoying time of the year for them. For me, it's my favorite time of the year right alongside Christmas. Give me ALL the fall flavors, cozy sweaters, and warm drinks. I'm basic like that.
She then tarts measuring everything and reads them out loud to herself!

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
In a medium bowl whisk together the buttermilk, butter, egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Gently stir in the chocolate chips. Do not overmix. Divide evenly among the muffin tin cups.
Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool until barely warm.
The powerful smell of the pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg fills the room. Oh goodness this is the perfect Fall smell. Autumn said! She opens the oven and lays the muffin tray on the countertop to cool and opens the window to cool down the kitchen and living room and the smell gets her into the mood to want to take a well deserved shower before she leaves for the library around 3:00 it is approximately 10:00 am and seemed about the perfect time to pick out her clothes for the day.
She heads to her room and turns on her candle warmer with a candle that smells of Hot Maple Toddy. Now on to picking out her clothes She picks out a pair of brown ankle boots, denim blueJean skirt at knees length, A rustic Orange long sleeve shirt along with a Beige Cardigan and a bronze colored bucket hat lays it on her vanity chair and puts her hair up into a topknot, takes the excess makeup off her face from the previous day and takes a well deserved time to take a shower. Afterward she threw her robe on and tied it and went into the kitchen and grabbed a muffin and makes herself a pumpkin spice latte and head back to her room and grabs her phone to turn up her music she left on so she could listen to it while she's getting ready. Quickly in 10 minutes she already had her makeup on.
She then decides she wanted to read to pass the time and puts her clothes on and heads to her a room that she calls her cozy corner and grabs a book she had been currently reading and sits down on her eggshell white colored hanging hammock that hangs from the ceiling that sits above a white sheep rug with fairly lights built inside of it. With a Brown fur circle shaped foot stool. On the right side of her chair she has a long fake palm tree with fairy lights and a big bookshelf filled with over 200 books on the far left side of the room. She has a small white table On the other side of her hammock with Fall colored decorative balls in a bowl with lights wrapped around each ball and a turquoise lamp and a orange salt light for display. She has yet to go shopping for the whole house to decorate in fall colors. Her whole entire color scheme is Turquoise and orange and all the other colors of Fall.
Her Love for fall keeps growing stronger that she can't hold in all the happiness so she reads a couple chapters in her favorite book and fell asleep for an hour and woke up energized!
" Oh my " I didn't wanna fall asleep what time is it ? she questioned herself! She answered back to herself it's 12:00 I still have 3 hours before I head to the library. She's ready for tackle anything right about now. She then decided why not take her time and go looking through town at some stores and find what decorations she thinks would look perfect for her house.
