These muffins remind me of a friend. This friend is probably one of the funniest, most creative, and longest lasting friends I have ever had. She’s fantastic. And it just so happens that the flavor marriage of pumpkin and chocolate is her favorite thing… (well, one of her favorite things.)

This friend is Kiki. You should all be friends with her.

Since it’s fall, get ready for all kinds of pumpkin-y posts. Pumpkin is a great way to get in some paleo-compliant carbs. It’s also very yummy when mixed into pancakes, chili, smoothies, muffins, and soups.

So head to your nearest grocer and buy up some cans of pumpkin (or an actual pumpkin).
