Description

These are a spin on my Easy Pumpkin Muffins, but this time with CHOCOLATE! I’m telling you, these muffins are amazingly moist because of the pumpkin, but are so subtle and deliciously chocolatey that you won’t be able to eat just one!

Ingredients

  • 1 box Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 1 can Pumpkin Puree (15 Oz.)
  • 1-½ teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • ¼ cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line with cupcake liners.

In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, spice and cake mix until smooth. Spoon equal amounts of batter into the muffin cups. (They will pretty much keep their shape, so I find they come out looking very pretty if you give them peaks by gently touching the back of a spoon to the top of each uncooked muffin before putting them in the oven.)

I add approximately 10 chocolate chips to the top of the muffin before placing them in the oven. This gives the muffins a beautiful appearance and a deliciously smooth chocolate taste in every bite without being too overwhelming.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

I just made a reduced sugar version of this recipe (using a Philsbury Reduced Sugar Chocolate Cake and Hersey’s sugar free chocolate chips)… um, WOW. Amazing. 5 stars, 2 thumbs up and my husband’s official stamp of approval!

I have made these many times and they are so moist and easy to make. I sometimes use a spice cake mix as well, but I don’t use the pumpkin pie spice in either the chocolate or the spice muffins.
