Hey everyone, so I had a bit of a baking adventure yesterday that I just have to share. I decided to tackle some chocolate chip pumpkin muffins, but with a twist – using cake mix! I know, I know, it sounds a little out there, but trust me on this one.
First off, I grabbed all my ingredients. I picked up a box of spice cake mix from the store – that’s the secret weapon here. Then, of course, I needed some pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, big difference! A couple of eggs, some vegetable oil, and a generous amount of chocolate chips. Oh, and I almost forgot, a dash of pumpkin pie spice because, why not?
I started by preheating my oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While that was warming up, I dumped the cake mix, pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, and pumpkin pie spice into a big mixing bowl. I got in there with my electric mixer and beat the heck out of it until it was all smooth and combined. No lumps allowed!
Next, I folded in the chocolate chips. I might have gone a little overboard with the chocolate chips, but who can really resist? They looked so good just sitting in the bowl, I had to sneak a few. Don’t judge me!
Then I lined my muffin tin with some paper liners. I used the cute ones with little pumpkins on them. Gotta keep it festive, right? I carefully spooned the batter into each liner, filling them about two-thirds full. You don’t want them to overflow and make a mess.
I popped the muffin tin into the preheated oven and baked them for around 18-20 minutes. The whole house started to smell amazing, like fall in a bakery. I knew they were done when I stuck a toothpick in the center of a muffin and it came out clean.
I let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. It was so hard to resist, but I managed to wait. Finally, it was taste-test time! These muffins turned out so fluffy and moist. The spice cake mix gave them such a warm, cozy flavor, and the pumpkin and chocolate chips were a match made in heaven. Honestly, they were a huge hit with my family. Even my picky little brother went back for seconds!
So, if you’re looking for an easy and delicious fall treat, give these chocolate chip pumpkin muffins with cake mix a try. You won’t regret it! They were a cinch to make and disappeared almost as quickly as I made them. I’ll definitely be making these again soon.
