These Chocolate Chip Muffins are a perfect recipe for busy moms. They are so quick and easy to make plus they only use 3 ingredients. It is a great recipe for kids who like to bake too!
My sister shared it with me a couple years ago and my kids love to make them for a quick chocolate treat. This easy muffin recipe uses only 3 ingredients. It is simply a chocolate cake mix, a can of pumpkin, and chocolate chips. I know it sounds weird with the pumpkin (I thought the same thing) but you really can't taste it. It makes the muffins very moist.
The Easiest Chocolate Chip Muffins
- 1 chocolate cake mix
- 1 15oz can pumpkin
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the chocolate cake mix and pumpkin in a bowl. It takes a few minutes to get it mixed together and the dough will be stiff.
Mix in the chocolate chips. Drop into greased muffin tins or use paper liners in the muffin tins. It makes about 18 regular-size muffins. I have also made them in the mini-muffin pans and that works great too!
Bake for about 25 – 30 minutes for regular-size muffins or about 15 minutes for mini-muffins.
Hope your family enjoys this quick muffin recipe!
I have to share a homemade recipe with everyone. One night I had asked my wife to make brownies because I had that chocolate crave going on so she got out the box of dark chocolate mix and started making it. When she got done I was presented with a surprise – homemade Reeses brownies that were made with natural peanut butter! Oh my they were so good. Now they were not officially Reeses brownies but I called them that to give you an idea of how they came out. She warmed up about 1/4 cup Jiffy natural peanut butter and simply poured it in the mix. A few tries after the first round she started putting the peanut butter in the middle of the brownie mix. So she would dump 1/2 the brownie mix in the pan, then the peanut butter, and then finally the rest of the brownie mix to make it like a Reeses brownie square. I guess you could use the Reeses brand peanut butter to make them, but I do not know if Reeses has a natural brand out yet. She also used a flax seed substitute for the eggs, which added another healthy dose of omega 3 to the already rich antioxidants from the dark chocolate. But now that I think of it, I have not seen Reeses peanut butter on the store shelves lately. Any good brand of natural peanut butter would beAnyhow I just wanted to share this cool recipe with you because I simply love it.
Sounds delicious! I am going to have to try it.
