Main Ingredients

  • 1 can pumpkin purée 15 oz, not pumpkin pie filling
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 box spice cake mix standard 15.25 oz size

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly grease each cup.
  • Step 2: In a large bowl, mix pumpkin purée, spice cake mix, and chocolate chips until fully combined. The batter will be thick.
  • Step 3: Use a scoop or spoon to divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  • Step 4: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  • Step 5: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These muffins freeze well and make a great make-ahead snack. Add nuts, flax, or oats for extra texture and nutrition.
