Okay, so I saw this recipe for 3-ingredient pumpkin chocolate chip muffins and I was like, “No way, that’s gotta be too good to be true.” But you know me, I love a good kitchen experiment, so I decided to give it a shot. I mean, three ingredients? How could I resist? Plus, I’m all about easy baking these days, especially with the little ones running around.
First things first, I grabbed the ingredients. Literally just three things:
- 1 box of spice cake mix – the kind you find in any grocery store.
- 1 can (15 oz) of pumpkin puree – make sure it’s not pumpkin pie filling, just plain old pumpkin.
- 1 cup of chocolate chips – I used semi-sweet because that’s what I had, but you do you.
Then, I preheated my oven to 350°F (175°C) and lined a muffin tin with some paper liners. Super basic stuff.
Next, I dumped the cake mix, pumpkin puree, and chocolate chips into a big bowl. I started mixing it all together with a spoon, and let me tell you, the batter was THICK. Like, really thick. I almost thought I messed up, but I kept going.
Mixing and Baking
After a bit of elbow grease, it all came together into this glorious, orange-colored batter. I scooped the batter into the muffin liners, filling them about two-thirds full. They looked pretty good, if I do say so myself.
I popped the muffin tin into the oven and set a timer for 20 minutes. While they were baking, I did a little dance in the kitchen, because that’s what you do when you’re making muffins, right?
After 20 minutes, I checked on them with a toothpick. Stuck it in, came out clean – they were done! I let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
The Taste Test
Alright, the moment of truth. I took a bite, and… wow. These muffins were actually really good! They were moist, flavorful, and the chocolate chips were perfectly melted. I was genuinely surprised at how well they turned out, especially considering how simple they were to make.
The kids loved them too, which is always a win in my book. They’re a great little treat for a quick breakfast or snack. I’m definitely going to be making these again. Maybe next time I’ll add some nuts or a streusel topping. The possibilities are endless!
So there you have it – my adventure with 3-ingredient pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. If you’re looking for a super easy, delicious treat, give these a try. You won’t be disappointed!
