Do you love pumpkin as much as we do? We think it's pretty ahh-maaazing! As soon as Starbucks and DD start advertising that pumpkin spice is back, I'm all like YAY! Not just because I love pumpkin spice latte's, but because pumpkin spiced goodies are showing up in the store everywhere.
However, word to the wise, don't buy the pumpkin spiced Cheerios! Those are a little too much spice, my mouth was actually tingly from so much raw spice. Eeek!
Anyway, we aren't here to talk about cereal, we are here to discuss all the wonderful pumpkin goodness that is here! Of course these aren't just ordinary Mini Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. Y'all these are made using Rodelle's Pumpkin Spice Extract which take the pumpkin spice flavor to the next level!
I have quite a few on the blog here; Streusel Topped Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Drizzle, Pumpkin Spice Squares, Pumpkin Bread Pudding, and about 13 others. Just search "pumpkin" in the search bar on the side. You won't be disappointed!
These little gems came about when I bought those pre-packaged mini muffins for Kayla. Kelsie can't have them because of her allergies. I felt like a bad momma for buying something that I didn't have an immediate alternative for her.
Usually when I buy something she can't have like Doritos, I buy her Nacho Cheese Beanitos as her alternative. We get what we want, and she gets something that's similar; and always healthier. Anyway. So I didn't have anything for her, but I do have a mini muffin pan, so hello I can make mini muffins!
I ask Kelsie what she wanted and she said pumpkin muffins. OK - she is totally my child! You want pumpkin muffins, you are gonna get pumpkin muffins. I quickly whipped together a batch and tossed in a handful of chocolate chips, because chocolate makes everything taste better!
Zack was all like "pumpkin and chocolate, um, okay." His "um, okay" sounded as if he didn't think that pumpkin and chocolate were gonna jive together. However, I proved him wrong! Pumpkin and chocolate go perfectly together!
How do I make these gluten free?
We love Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free One to One Baking Mix. It's by far the only blend I've found that has results that taste like flour.
