It’s the time of year for pumpkin recipes and we are obsessed with these perfect mini pumpkin muffins!

I have made these for my kids as a snack or fast breakfast and they disappear so quickly.

I just can’t get enough of pumpkin recipes like pumpkin cake mix muffins, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and pumpkin cheesecake truffles.

I find myself making all the pumpkin things, even a pumpkin shaped cheese ball appetizer for parties!

Mini muffins are a favorite in our house because they are the perfect size for little hands or when you just want a little something sweet.

We have been on a kick and made lots of variations like pancake mini muffins, mini banana muffins, mini chocolate chip muffins, and mini blueberry muffins.

Ingredients to make pumpkin muffins

• canned pumpkin: not pumpkin pie filling
• melted butter
• eggs
• vanilla extract
• brown sugar
• all purpose flour
• baking soda
• pumpkin pie spice
• milk
• mini chocolate chips

How to make pumpkin mini muffins

Step 1: Add the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice until combined.

Step 2: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin, melted butter, vanilla extract, brown sugar, milk, and eggs.

Step 3: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 4: Fold the mini chocolate chips into the muffin batter using a rubber spatula.

Tip: Want some muffins without chocolate chips? Add half of the batter to a greased mini muffin tin first, then fold in half the amount of chocolate chips into the remaining batter.

Step 5: Grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.

Use a mini cookie scoop to fill the muffin tin with batter.

Step 6: Bake the mini pumpkin muffins at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Allow the muffins to cool for 2-3 minutes in the mini muffin pan, then use a butter knife to gently remove the muffins onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Just look at that fluffy chocolatey pumpkin inside!

These sweet little muffins are so delicious and perfectly pumpkin spiced.

How to store

Allow the muffins to cool completely before placing in an airtight bag or container.

I typically keep mine in the fridge to help them last longer. Enjoy cold or microwave for 10 seconds to melt the chocolate when you have one!
