Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin pie filling
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the can of pumpkin pie filling (15 oz), 2 large eggs, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil. Whisk everything together until smooth.
- Pour the entire box of yellow cake mix into the bowl. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the batter. Fold them in with a spatula until they’re evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop or a large spoon, divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Fill each cup about 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. Start checking at 18 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, they’re done.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins. Use a cookie scoop for even portions. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring. Check doneness with a toothpick. Room temperature ingredients aren’t critical. For gluten-free, use a gluten-free yellow cake mix. For dairy-free, use dairy-free chocolate chips. Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
