Chai Spiced Pumpkin Muffins

With fall in full swing, I love making pumpkin treats. I also love chai tea. This combines both, in a muffin that is spicy, but lightly sweet. I like them with a small cup of Bullet Proof Coffee.
I found this recipe online and made it healthier by replacing all the sugar with Stevia Brands natural sweeteners.
I hope you love this recipe as much as we do.

 2 large eggs
 1 cup canned pumpkin (or use any cooked and well mashed squash such as butternut, sweet potato would also work)

 1 tsp baking powder
 ½ tsp baking soda
