Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray. If using cupcake liners, spray those lightly with nonstick spray. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, brown sugar, maple syrup, egg whites, Greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk them all together until smooth, with no yogurt lumps remaining.
-
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together into a large bowl.
-
Slowly stir in the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. Get any dry pockets of flour out. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. The batter will be a little chunky and extremely thick.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Fill them all the way to the top. If desired, sprinkle a few more mini chocolate chips on top.
-
Bake for 5 minutes. Keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the temperature down to 375 degrees F, and continue to bake for 13 more minutes.
-
Insert a toothpick into the center of one muffin. If it comes out clean, they are done. If not, bake for 2 more minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3 minutes in the pan then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve and enjoy!
