Since it's the end of August and I had a day off today, I figured it was a good idea to bust out the good 'ol canned pumpkin! I just love pumpkin..it is such a comfort food in my opinion, and it is naturally low cal! I found a recipe for chocolate pumpkin muffins, and it was a low cal option to boot!
Here are the ingredients:
1. 1 box of chocolate cake mix (You can use a no sugar added option...I used Betty Crocker)
2. 15 oz. can of Pumpkin Puree.. Libby's brand is the BEST
3. 6 oz. chocolate chips....Guittard is my brand of choice here!
Using a muffin pan, I put aluminum foil liners in the little cubbies, and started mixin!
You just simply mix the powdered cake mix with the can of pumpkin for about two minutes.
Then add the chocolate chips...you can tell I may have added a few extra ;) The batter is pretty thick, so it takes a while to NEATLY fill all those cubbies (i'm sure thats not the right word to describe the muffin pan holes hehe). I put a few choc chips on top so they would be all nice and melty! I also added a bit of pumpkin spice on top, just for an extra pep.
Set the oven on 350, put those bad boys in the oven for about 25 minutes.
Let me tell ya, they are so moist (I know I hate that word too) but they were...and tasted amazing!
