How to Make Chocolate Pumpkin Mini Cakes

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the tin.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted chocolate, eggs, and oil until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Fill each muffin cup ¾ full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the mini cakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
