Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bites
Servings: 96 bites.**
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup butter soften
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 16 oz can of pure pumpkin
- 1 ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° and spray miniature muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray or use mini muffin liners.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer cream the butter and the sugar until fluffy, about two minutes. Add eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition. Add the pumpkin and mix until well combine.
- Add the dry ingredients mixing just until combine. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Fill muffin cups ¾ full with batter. (I used a #50 scoop.)
- Bake 10 to 11 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 1 minute before transferring bites to a wire rack. (Bake 35-40 minutes for the mini loaves.)
Notes
Substitute ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon plus ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg and ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves for 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
