Ingredients
15.25 oz spice cake mix
15 oz can 100% pure pumpkin puree
1/4 cup water or milk
1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry spice cake mix with the pumpkin puree and the water or milk until smooth.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed through the batter.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure you use 100% pure pumpkin puree and not pre-mixed pumpkin pie filling to avoid excess sugar and stabilizers. Using milk instead of water will provide a richer, more tender crumb. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to one month.
