These mini pumpkin muffins are tender and delicious, and studded with little bites of chocolate which rounds them out beautifully! They came together quickly and were a lovely soft bite sized treat! 

I cannot believe we're already back around to the week of Thanksgiving... I always say the year is over once we hit Halloween, but this past month has truly flown by. I am so looking forward to a few low key days this week and the all-day baking and cooking fest coming up on Thursday! 

Mini Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins adapted from Food
Makes 36-48 mini muffins

Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup pure pumpkin puree
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 24-hole mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
2. Combine dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl (flour, chocolate chips, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda). Whisk to combine.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer blend the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, melted butter, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and egg together until smooth and a little fluffy. On low speed, add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix just until combined - do not over mix.
4. Fill the muffin wells about 3/4 full (a heaping TBS or so) and place fist tin in the oven. Bake 12-15 minutes (12 was perfect for mine). Test with a toothpick, and allow to cool a few minutes on a cooling rack before turning out and finishing cooling on the rack.
5. Repeat spraying and filling a muffin pan with any remaining batter.
