I am so excited to share this SIMPLE yummy recipe!
Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Mini Muffins
After seeing...
Blueberry Angel Food Cake Dessert {Fluff Berry Cake} recipe share
over at The Frugal Girls, I thought about all the different ingredients you could use with cake mix. I thought, why not pumpkin. I LOVE pumpkin! I also happened to have a can in my pantry leftover from the holidays. After a quick Google search, there were several recipes out there with these two ingredients...so my idea wasn't so novel!

These muffins did not disappoint!

So easy!

So easy!
If you're looking for a strong pumpkin taste, you won't get it here. I actually can't taste the pumpkin, which was a little disappointing. If you don't care for pumpkin, like my husband, try this recipe, you might find you love them, he sure does! My girls thought they were awesome too!
The big bonus for me, it's a great egg-free treat for my little one with an egg allergy.

Ingredients
1 Box of Betty Crocker Triple Chocolate cake mix OR any Devil's Food/Chocolate Cake Mix
1 15 oz can of 100 % Pure Pumpkin
Mini or Regular Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips for topping
Directions
For my mini muffins, I did the following:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly spray mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pour cake mix in a large bowl and add a little bit of pumpkin at a time and mix. Once all the pumpkin is blended with the dry cake mix, use an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Next, spoon mixture into mini muffins 3/4 full. Sprinkle tops with a few chocolate chips, place in oven on middle rack, bake for 15 mins or until toothpick comes clean. Makes approximately 30 mini muffins. Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by!
Cheers!

DeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog and I can't wait to try this recipe! Do you think it would work using a standard muffin pan?
Thanks!
Florence
Hi Florence! Thank you so much and thanks for stopping by! I think they work great in a standard muffin pan. I would bake them according to the recipe on your cake mix box for standard size muffins. I would be sure to check them with a toothpick - also maybe check them a few minutes early to be sure they are not over-baking. I also made these with a white cake mix and pumpkin:) http://www.sweetlittlebluebird.com/2012/03/easy-cake-mix-mini-muffins-made-with.html
DeleteThanks for the visit - means so much! Cheers!
I do the same thing but I use a box of spice cake mix! Can also make cookies out of this... just drop by tablespoon or so and bake at 350* for 10-12 mins. So good! My friend recently did a bake sale, and these were the first to sell out :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, I can't wait to try it this way! Thanks for stopping by...Have a great weekend!
DeleteI can't wait to try these! So simple, and I love pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. I just got a mini muffin pan so - it must be fate! I'm your newest follower! Stop by when you can at
