Prep Time: 10

Cook Time: 25

Total Time: 35

Servings: 24 muffins

Equipment

12-count muffin pan

Ingredients

15.25 ounce box chocolate cake mix
1.3 ounce box instant chocolate pudding sugar-free and fat-free
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 cup water
¼ cup miniature chocolate chips optional, for topping

Instructions

Place a rack in the center of your oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 20 minutes before baking your muffins. Line a 12-count muffin pan with liners and spray with baking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine chocolate cake mix, instant pudding, and espresso powder. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk pumpkin puree and water together until incorporated. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Mix batter together until incorporated a few lumps remain—about 1 minute. The batter will look glossy when finished. Fill your cupcake liners about ⅔ full.
Sprinkle muffins with miniature chocolate chips, if desired.
Bake each batch of 12 muffins separately in the oven for about 24-28 minutes. Muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove muffins to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.

Heather's Helpful Hints

Try using an ice cream scoop to measure out your batter for the muffins. This ensures even cooking for each muffin.
Be sure to use baking spray (which includes flour) to coat your muffin liners. I like to use Baker's Joy or PAM Baking Spray with Flour.
