Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup sugar (100 grams)
- 6 TBSP unsalted butter, melted (85 grams)
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 grams)
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice blend
- 1/4-1/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- First preheat oven to 375℉ and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners. I love using parchment paper liners so there's zero sticking and the bottom of the muffin stays soft and fluffy.
- Next measure out all ingredients for speedier muffin prep.
- In a large bowl, melt butter in the microwave (approx. 60 seconds) then add pumpkin puree, vanilla, and sugar. Beat together with a metal whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- Next whisk in the egg until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix together with a fork until just combined. Gently fold in mini chocolate chips to distribute into batter. Batter will be thick.
- Rest batter for 10-15 minutes then scoop into lined muffin tray for puffy domed muffins. I used a 1.5 TBSP medium cookie scoop or you could use a tablespoon to measuring a heaping tablespoon of batter per muffin liner to yield 20 mini muffins.
- Place muffin pan on the center rack. Once oven door is closed, reduce the oven's temperature from 375℉ to 350℉ (another trick for fluffy muffin tops)
- Bake for 17-18 minutes.
- Once cool enough to handle, transfer to a wire rack to fully cool before diving in face-first! Hooray muffins!

Notes
- Mini chocolate chips provide the perfect chocolate to muffin ratio.
- I have had the best results with Target's Good and Gather brand pumpkin puree, Libby's Pumpkin Puree, and Publix's store brand. Organic pumpkin puree and homemade pumpkin puree tend to have a higher moisture content (more watery) so I would skip using those for baked goods.
