Pumpkin, Spice, Everything Nice...That's what these muffins are made of!

My friend, Lindsey, sent me the world's easiest recipe for pumpkin muffins.

They have only three ingredients.

Three.

I'm game!

She told me that all you do it mix 1 box of spice cake mix, 1 can pf pumpkin, and 1 individual cup of applesauce. 

But I thought, "No chocolate? Every good recipe has chocolate!"

So, I added chocolate chips to the mix.  I have a problem, I can't seem to leave well enough alone.

First, pour 1 cup chocolate chips into a small bowl.  Open cake mix and sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of it over the chocolate chips. This will keep them suspended in the muffin and keep them from sinking.

Stir it until all chips are coated.

In mixing bowl, mix together cake mix, applesauce, and pumpkin.

Once it is all incorporated, fold in the chocolate chips.

Scoop into lined muffin tins and bake as directed. I like to use an ice cream scoop so they are all the same size.  Bake as directed on the cake mix box.  Mine said to bake at 350 for 18-21 minutes. They took 20 minutes.

(You can also make this recipe as  a cake or bundt cake.  A bundt cake with a simple icing of milk,  powdered sugar, and splash of vanilla drizzled over it would be divine.)

Oh my.
These are so moist and delicious.
No one will ever know that they were so easy to whip up!
