Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2/3 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 cups Unsweetened pumpkin puree
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup Milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup Mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Walnuts ground

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and if using a regular mini muffin pan, grease each muffin section.
  • Beat together the sugar and butter.  This works best if your butter is at room temperature.  You can also melt the butter if needed.  
  • Add in the pumpkin, eggs, vanilla, and milk, beating until these are mixed well. 
  • Next mix in the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and both flours. 
  • Fold in your mini chocolate chips and ground walnuts until well combined.
  • Using a scooper or a spoon, add roughly 1 tbsp of your mini pumpkin muffin batter to each muffin section, topping with a few mini chocolate chips as well. Push mini chocolate chips into the batter to ensure they stick and don't fall off.
  • Bake mini muffins for 15 to 18 minutes or until firm. Let cool before removing from muffin pan.

Notes

Add a little extra natural sweetness with one mashed banana and 1/2 the amount of pumpkin.
