When I make this as a gift, I always include a can of pumpkin with the gift. Include the following direction when giving the mix as a gift.
Directions for making the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease or paper-line 18 regular-size (2 1/2 inch) muffin cups.
Pour contents of jar into large bowl. Combine pumpkin, milk, butter and eggs in small bowl until blended; stir into jar mixture just until moistened. Spoon evenly into prepared muffin cups, filling 2/3 full.
