Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line cupcake tin with 12 liners.

In large mixing bowl, add flour, granulated and brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips. Mix well.

In medium bowl, combine pumpkin puree, applesauce, canola oil and vanilla extract.

Add wet mixture to dry mixture and fold together, just until combined.

Scoop batter into cupcake liners until all are evenly filled.

Bake 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
