Chocolate Cookie Butter Pumpkin Muffins

These muffins are made with pumpkin puree, cookie butter, cocoa powder, and milk chocolate chips. The pumpkin makes them so moist and the cookie butter adds a punch of molasses that is delicious. They also have cinnamon and nutmeg to add that perfect fall flavor, but still super chocolatey from the cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
