Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two 24-cup mini muffin pans with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vanilla, and egg. Stir in the pumpkin until combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t over mix.
Scoop a heaping tablespoon of batter into each greased muffin cup. Bake for about 12 to 14 minutes or until set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before transferring fritters to a large cookie rack with a sheet pan underneath it.
