Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Butter

Thanks to my friend JoAnn who left a can of Libby's Pumpkin on my door step, I was finally able to bake some pumpkin muffins!  I had searched pretty much every grocery store around town and couldn't find it for weeks, but JoAnn came to my rescue.  What a friend!  I'll even have some left over to add to my oatmeal this week - so good.

These muffins are great by themselves, but the cinnamon cream cheese butter makes them even better.
