Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a mini muffin pan with paper liners.
- Melt butter (or oil) and chocolate chips in a bowl. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Stir in the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, pumpkin spice, baking powder, and salt. Fold into wet mixture.
- Gently fold in optional mix-ins like white chocolate chips or nuts, if using.
- Scoop batter into prepared mini muffin cups, filling ¾ full. Bake for 14–17 minutes, until toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temp for 3–4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. For a festive twist, drizzle with maple glaze or top with mini pumpkin candies.
