Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Muffins

I think this is my new favorite muffin, Pumpkin & White Chocolate, YUM! We have been making our Magic Sweet Potato Muffins for over a year now, it's one of the few things that I make over and over again! If you still have some left-over Sweet Potatoes then that recipe is a MUST MAKE!!! But today, I have a NEW favorite muffin (now that I had a ton of Fresh Puree' Pumpkin in my freezer), I am sure there will be plenty of these Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Muffins in my near future.
