– 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour (all-purpose or paleo baking flour) provides structure to the bites
– 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder delivers that rich chocolate base
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda aids in rising for a light texture

Instructions
1-Getting started with these pumpkin brownie bites is as easy as preheating your oven, and the whole process takes just around 35 minutes. Begin by setting your oven to 325Β°F to ensure even baking. This step helps the bites come out perfectly tender without overcooking.
2-Next, mix the wet ingredients until theyβre nice and smooth. That means combining 1 cup pumpkin puree, 3/4 cup natural creamy peanut butter, 2/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup milk of choice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl. Once blended, add in the dry ingredients like 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
3-Stir everything together gently, then fold in 2/3 cup chocolate chips to add those delightful chocolate bits. For the best results, use a greased 24-count mini muffin pan and a portion scooper to divide the batter evenly. This keeps each bite uniform and bakes them just right in 22-26 minutes, checked with a toothpick for doneness.
4-After baking, let the bites cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before moving them to a rack. This simple guide makes it straightforward for anyone, from newlyweds to seniors, to enjoy homemade treats. Once cooled, theyβre ready to serve and share at your next gathering.
