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.

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.

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!
