Super easy simple pumpkin muffins

In honor of Pi day on Friday I made a pumpkin pie.(recipe coming soon) The can of pumpkin I had was a double size so I had leftovers. What better to do on the weekend than make pumpkin muffins!!! I saw such a simple recipe on Pinterest I couldn't pass it up. Especially with a baby almost here simple recipes are best! They were so moist and delicious! The texture doesn't yield the prettiest looking muffins but they make up for it in taste.

All you need is a can (15 oz) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 box of cake mix (I used yellow but I think that spice cake in the future would be delicious)
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup (or more) chocolate chips (optional)


Preheat oven to 350.
With a hand mixer beat pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and cake mix until well mixed.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Spoon mixture into a greased cupcake pan.
Bake for 18-20 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.

Enjoy!!
