Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree approx. half of 15 oz pumpkin can
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1.5 tbsp Pumpkin Pie seasoning from Trader Joe's or you can use 1 tbsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp allspice, 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 cup butter room temperature
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a silicon baking sheet. (The silicon baking sheet can be super helpful in making sure the mini muffins don't stick! In fact, the mini muffins slip right out! It's a no mess solution to the baking process. Check out link below recipe)

  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and the Trader Joe's pumpkin pie seasoning in a bowl.

  3. If you're taking the butter out from the fridge, let the butter warm up to room temperature (or else it'll be this block of butter that refuses to play nice with the mixer). Beat the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs. Beat in the vanilla and pumpkin puree with the last egg. Stir in the flour mixture and the mini chocolate chips, mixing until just incorporated. 

  4. Spoon the mixture into the silicon baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes. The tops should be firm and a little sticky. Let it cool on the stove to firm up.
