Begin by setting your oven to 350°F. Prepare a mini muffin tin by lining it with paper liners and giving them a light spray of cooking oil to ensure easy removal later.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar, baking soda, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set this mixture aside for later use.
In a larger bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, oil, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Use a mixer on medium speed to blend these ingredients until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. Remember to scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate everything evenly.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing at a low speed just until everything is combined; be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter among the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner. Bake in the center of the oven for 22 to 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for at least 15 minutes before serving to ensure they hold their shape.
