Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and grease or line the muffin tin. We used both a regular and a mini-muffin tin.

Add flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt to a food processor and mix. (Or you can just mix in a bowl.)
- Add butter
Cut butter into a few pieces and add to flour mixture. Pulse until the butter is pea sized or smaller. (If doing by hand, cut the butter in with a pastry knife.)
Dump the flour-butter mixture into a large bowl.
- Combine wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin, half-and-half, egg, and vanilla.
- Mix dry and wet mixtures together
Dump pumpkin mixture into flour mixture. Fold until mixture is just combined.
Add chocolate chips and fold in.
- Fill muffin tin
Spoon the mixture into your greased muffin tin, filling each about half full.
Optional: sprinkle with the sugar-cinnamon topping over each muffin.
- Bake and enjoy!
Bake for 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan for ten minutes or so, if you can bear to wait.
