Pumpkin Spice season is here! Who else is excited?! I might as well be called the muffin lady at this point. I like to bake them and eat them and post about them. Muffins often get a bad wrap. “They are sad cupcakes”. Womp womp. HAHA! No way!! Muffins are amazing! When else can you eat pretty much a cupcake for breakfast and get away with it? Well, unless you just eat a cupcake for breakfast, because I’m totally on board with that too. Haha. Ok, anyway, these pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are delish, and you wouldn’t even know there is shredded zucchini in them!

1/4 cup sour cream
