Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins with Streusel Topping from Brittany:

Recipe From: Our Best Bites

book: If You Give a Moose a Muffin

1 Duncan Hines spice cake mix

1 15-oz. can pumpkin

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup vegetable oil

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 12-ounce package of chocolate chips

Streusel Topping

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

3 T butter

Preheat oven to 350. 

In a large bowl combine the cake mix, pumpkin, sour cream, oil, eggs and vanilla. Mix on low for 30 seconds or until all the ingredients have been moistened, then beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes or until the batter is smooth. Mix in the chocolate chips.

Divide the batter evenly into prepared muffin tins. 

Whisk together the flour, sugar and pumpkin pie spice, then cut in the butter until the mixture resembles  coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the topping over the batter. Bake the muffins for 20-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. Makes approximately 24 muffins.
