It’s the first day of Fall, and I am now officially in my “happy place”. I decided to start it off by making a pumpkin recipe with my sweet 4 year old daughter. She loves to help her mommy, such a lucky one I am.
Mini Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins
I came across this yummy looking recipe from Inside BruCrew Life and had to give it a try. I’m a crazy lover of pumpkin… I even dedicated an entire Pinterest Board to All Things Pumpkin. Can you say YUM-O? These little muffins hit the mark – super pumpkiny (is that a word?) and dense, plus a bit sweet with the cinnamon sugar glaze on top. I have about a half can of pumpkin left…. what shall I make next? I can’t wait to do some more baking. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- For the Muffins:
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 5 teaspoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the oil, brown sugar, applesauce, vanilla, and pumpkin until creamy.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Slowly add to the pumpkin mixture alternately with the buttermilk.
- Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
- Spray a mini muffin pan with non stick spray. Fill the cavities almost full.
- Bake at 350* for 10-12 minutes.
- Let cool 2-3 minutes in the pan. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Stir together the powdered sugar, milk, and cinnamon. Dip the tops of the muffins in the glaze and let set. Makes 24 mini muffins.

Great recipe! I used coconut oil and whole wheat white flour. My hubby who thinks healthy = bad, loves these! Very moist.
Katie says
Thank you! SO glad you liked it. And nice to know coconut oil works for it, I’ve been wanting to use coconut oil more myself!
