Pumpkin Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins

Pumpkin Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins-moist spiced pumpkin muffins with coconut and chocolate chips. These easy pumpkin muffins are a fall favorite.
I am headed up to Park City later today for the Better Blog Retreat. I am excited to see blogging friends, but I am already missing my boys. I have been traveling a lot lately and miss them every second I am gone. I wanted to leave them a special treat, so I made them Pumpkin Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins.
My boys LOVE muffins, they are obsessed. I always keep a stash in the freezer and the other day I walked in the kitchen and Maxwell was on the floor with a freezer bag of muffins. He was eating one frozen. Silly kid!
I know the boys will love these moist pumpkin spiced muffins because they have coconut and chocolate chips, a delightful combo. I add coconut and chocolate chips inside the muffins and on top. The coconut on top gets toasted while baking and creates a nice toasted coconut topping.
The muffins are sweet enough for dessert, but I am ok if the boys eat them for breakfast while I am gone. I know Josh will spoil them. When the mommy is away the boys will play:)
I am going to put a few Pumpkin Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffins in the freezer so I can enjoy one when I get home. I just hope Maxwell doesn't find them. He is a little muffin man:)
Get your fall on and make a batch of Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. They are delish!
