Mini Pumpkin Cake Bites Recipe

Pumpkin cake bites are delicious and fun little treats to munch on. Mini bite sizes are always a hit.

The recipe is a spin off of the pumpkin squares we recently posted.

Since they are bites, they are ideal for serving in a basket or serving platter for holiday brunches or anytime.

Pumpkin Mini Cakes

To bake the pumpkin cake bites we used a silicone mold.

Since these molds bend easily, we placed them on a cookie sheet before putting in the oven.

I don’t even know how it happened, but somehow I slipped and burned myself.

The pain caused me to flop the cookie sheet and spill a good portion of the dough out of the silicone mold.

We shifted it back and tried to fix the batter, but this is what we ended up with on that first batch.

Personally, I am doing the whole, “Fake it till I make it” thing in the kitchen.

It never fails that I get hurt and/or make a mess.

Baking doesn’t come naturally to me, but it’s a fun way to spend time with my sister and Gram while creating content for the blog.

To see behind the scenes of our baking days, be sure to follow @jenniesoltys and @teenybod on Snapchat.

Sometimes it’s pretty funny how these recipes evolve.

Thankfully, we had more batter, and we didn’t have to abort the mission.

Using a silicone mold makes it easy to pop the bites out, but they require a cookie sheet for stability.

If you make this recipe a different way, please adjust your baking time.

Mini Pumpkin Bites Instructions

Again, this is all in the recipe card below.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix the cake mix, pudding mix, spices, and baking soda together in a bowl.

Add the oil and pure pumpkin into the mixture. Beat the eggs in one at a time.

Stir until mixed evenly.

Spray the silicone mold with cooking spray.

Pour the batter into the molds filling halfway.

Place three cinnamon chips into the center of the batter. This step is optional, but cinnamon chips are delicious and add a nice crunch to the cake bites.

Pour more batter over the chips.

Set the mold onto a baking sheet for stability.

Bake in your preheated oven for about 25 minutes. Check with a toothpick to see if they are done.

Top with cream cheese frosting if desired. Frosting is optional, as the cake with the chips is already sweet. We only frosted a few and left the majority frosting-free.

The cakes make a delicious breakfast treat without the frosting.

We made these during one of our big baking days at our Grandparents’ house.

The best part is that we leave most of the goodies there. Gram and Papa love that end of the deal.

They raved about these bites and how they enjoyed them every single day.
