Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins

This recipe is my modification of the "Anyway You Like It Pumpkin Breads" from the verybestbaking.com website.

Makes 2 dozen muffins
Preheat oven to 400* F

3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup Chocolate Chips (honestly I add the whole bag)
1 can (30 oz) Libby's Easy Pumpkin Pie Mix (If you use plain pumpkin, add 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice in addition to what's listed)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup orange juice, apple juice or water
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Combine flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a larger bowl. Combine pumpkin pie mix, oil, orange juice, eggs and vanilla in another bowl. Pour pumpkin mixture into flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in chocolate chips. Spoon batter into prepared pans.

Bake for 16 to 18 minutes.
