White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Muffins image

The perfect fall muffin recipe. The combination of the pumpkin and white chocolate are reminiscent of pumpkin cheesecake. Yum! For a lighter muffin be sure to sift your flour and level off the measuring cup. Do not over-mix batter to ensure your muffins are tender.
