Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 Devil’s Food Cake Mix (I used Betty Crocker)
  • 1¾ cups of mashed pumpkin*
  • 1 cup of chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons of water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and line medium sized muffin pans with paper cases.
  2. Place the dry cake mix into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the mashed pumpkin and water and stir to combine then fold through the chocolate chips.
  4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin pans till they are around 80% full (muffins don’t rise too much).
  5. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  6. Allow muffins to cool in tins for a few minutes then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

* I steamed 550g of fresh peeled raw butternut pumpkin to get 1¾ cups of mashed pumpkin. You can also use a 15 ounce can of pumpkin if it is available.
