Notes
*You can substitute applesauce for some of the oil.*If you don't have Pumpkin Pie Spice you can make your own. The substitute for 1 Tablespoon of Pumpkin Pie Spice is: 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/4 teaspoon allspice.*To make the muffins have that bakery look, hand place some chocolate chips on top after filling the paper liners.Source: adapted from Taste of Home
