Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix. If desired, fold in the mini chocolate chips at this stage.
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, fill the prepared mini muffin cups about three-quarters full with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
