These chocolate pumpkin muffins are incredibly moist and fudgy, and with just three ingredients, they come together in a flash.
The secret to this oh-so-simple recipe? A can of pumpkin puree. It eliminates the need for eggs, milk and oil, while contributing lots of nutrients and moisture.
Just stir three ingredients together, and the batter is ready to go. You won’t even dirty your measuring cups and spoons making these muffins because there’s nothing to measure.
Pop a pan in the oven, and in 20-25 minutes you’ll have a tasty seasonal treat to share with your family!
Three-Ingredient Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins Recipe
This recipe makes approximately 14 regular-size muffins.
Ingredients:
What You Do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, pumpkin puree and chocolate chips.
Stir until all the ingredients are incorporated, and a thick batter forms. It’ll have the consistency of cookie dough.
Spray a muffin pan with cooking spray, or line the cups with cupcake wrappers. Then, divide your chocolate pumpkin muffin batter evenly between the cups. These muffins won’t rise much, so fill the cups close to the top. You should have enough batter for 14 muffins.
Tip:
- Use a large (3-tablespoon) cookie scoop to make quick work of filling your muffin pan. Two scoops fills a standard muffin cup perfectly. I flatten the top of each muffin with a rubber spatula, when I’m done.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean.
If you didn’t use cupcake wrappers, I recommend allowing your chocolate pumpkin muffins to cool completely, before you remove them from the pan. These muffins are incredibly moist, so they may crumble, if you try to remove them, while they’re still hot.
Store your chocolate pumpkin muffins in an air-tight container on the counter for up to 3 days, or store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Enjoy these muffins for breakfast, a snack or a dessert. They’re delicious any time of day.
