Ingredients

  • 2 boxed spice cake mixes
  • 30 ounces canned pumpkin one large can
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 bag

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Combine cake mixes and pumpkin. Add in chocolate chips.
  • Spoon mixture into lined muffin tins. This can make as many as 48 muffins or as few as 36, just depending on how full the tins are filled. These really don't rise very much, so you can fill the tins pretty full. If aesthetics are a concern, keep in mind that how they look going into the oven is very much what they will look like coming out of the oven. So a cookie scoop works great to keep things on the prettier side.
  • Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of one of the muffins comes out clean.

Notes

  • Great tip: Duncan Hines, although not pictured, is the best for this recipe.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container on the counter and eat within 3-4 days for best results.
  • This recipe makes a lot (36-48 muffins depending on how full you fill your liners) so feel free to freeze some for later, or divide the recipe in half. 
  • To freeze: For best results, you want multiple layers of protection to prevent freezer burn. Cool your muffins completely then wrap each muffin tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Place in a large zip-top freezer bag labeled with the contents and date. Remove as much air as possible, zip closed, and freeze. Eat within 3 months of freezing for best results.
  • These will definitely bake up well with any flavor of cake mix. Chocolate pumpkin could be good. If all you have are plain white or yellow cake mixes, you can use them as is, or add in some spices: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, or pre-mixed pumpkin pie spice.
