Add cinnamon, ginger, cloves, salt, and almond milk; mix until just blended. Set aside.
Place a wrapper in each muffin cup. Press down so that wrapper fits snugly and forms a cup shape.

Recipe Notes
Tips:
Wonton wrappers are used in Chinese cooking, and can be found in many grocery stores. Look for the wrappers that are approx. 3½-inches square. The larger wrappers are called egg roll wrappers, and you can use them in a pinch. Just make sure you cut them to wonton wrapper size.
Mini muffin cups can really vary in size. If 2 Tbsp. won’t fit into your muffin cups, adjust the amount of filling. In that case, you may need more wrappers as this recipe will make more than 12 cups.
Variations:
Apple: Substitute 1 cup cooked apples (or 1 cup unsweetened chunky applesauce) for pumpkin. Substitute allspice for ginger.
Sweet Potato: Substitute 1 cup cooked mashed sweet potato for pumpkin. Substitute 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice for cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
