PUMPKIN SPICE MUFFINS

Category: Muffins

1 box (18.25 oz) spice cake mix*
1-15 oz. can of pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup white or semi sweet chocolate chips (optional)

In a large bowl, combine the dry cake mix, the pumpkin puree and the water in a bowl and mix til well combined. Mix them up by hand. Stir in the chocolate chips if using. Scoop batter into lined muffins pan and fill 3/4 of the way full. Bake at 400 degrees F for approximately 20 minutes. Makes about 18 muffins.

NOTE: You can use yellow cake mix but the spice cake has so much more flavor. Also if you choose, you can use sugar-free cake mix but it will produce denser, less tender muffins.
