Mini Pumpkin Chocolate Chip 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
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup pure pumpkin puree
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the cups of 2 24-cup mini muffin tins with cooking spray.

Whisk together the flour, chocolate chips, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and baking soda in a medium bowl. Whisk together the pumpkin, sugar, butter, sour cream, vanilla and egg in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Stir the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture until just combined but with a few small lumps.

Fill each muffin cup with a generous tablespoon of batter. Bake until the muffins have pulled away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 12 to 16 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
