How to Make Pumpkin Muffins with Cake Mix
STEP ONE – Preheat oven to 350°F and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin. You can use muffin liners or spray with baking spray.
STEP TWO – In a large bowl, combine can of pumpkin with the box of spice cake mix and stir until it’s well combined.
STEP THREE – Stir in the chocolate chips. I like to reserve 1/4 cup for pressing into the muffin tops.
STEP FOUR – Divide the muffins batter evenly in the prepared muffin tin. An ice cream scoop makes it easy to drop them into the muffin cup without making a mess.
STEP FIVE – Bake in 350°F for 20 to 23 minutes. Test them with a toothpick or cake tester to make sure they are fully cooked.
STEP SIX – Cool on wire rack and enjoy!
Store muffins, in an airtight container at room temperature for three to four days.
