Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

I LOVE these muffins!  Seriously!  I found the recipe on Pinterest and was hooked the first time I made them.  I could easily eat them all myself.

• 4 eggs
•  2 cups sugar
•  1 (15 oz) can of pumpkin purée
•  1-1/2 cups canola oil
•  3 cups all-purpose flour
•  2 teaspoons baking soda
•  1 teaspoon baking powder
•  1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice 
•  1 teaspoon salt
•  2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (12 ounces)

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Place paper liners in a regular sized muffin pan.
2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, pumpkin and oil until smooth. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt; Add flour mixture slowly to pumpkin mixture and mix well. Fold in chocolate chips. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths to almost all the way full.
3. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Do not overbake. It makes all the difference between a good and a great muffin. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Makes 2 dozen muffins.
