{DAY 5} Skinny Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins



Okay, people... If you haven't noticed already, I'm all about recipes that are EASY. I work full time and have a 15 month old, so being able to cook anything these days is quite honestly a miracle. My husband loves this time of year, because I am always in the kitchen baking away on the weekends.  

I wouldn't consider myself a good cook, but I do have a small passion for baking that developed when I stayed home with my daughter after she was born. Now that she's older, I can share these recipes with her, and this is a great recipe to do with your kids. It's so simple, and only has three ingredients!




Ingredients: 
  • 1 15 ounce can of pumpkin puree
  • 1 box of devil's food cake
  • 1 cup of dark chocolate chips

Another great thing about this recipe is that it is low in fat. In fact, my best friend made this recipe for me when I was trying to lose all my baby weight (thanks, Katie!!!). Since then, I make these all the time to take with me to work. Guiltless chocolate chip muffins! Although they are made with pumpkin, they don't have the traditional pumpkin flavors that you might think. You can really make these any time of year!




Directions:
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350*.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, add the cake mix, chocolate chips, and pumpkin puree. Mix to combine until smooth. The batter with be very thick, but this is exactly what you want.
  3. Spoon the cake batter into greased a muffin pan about 3/4 of the way full in each section. The batter doesn't settle, so you may want to smooth out the tops, if you desire.
  4. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.

ENJOY!!!
