These delicious chocolate pumpkin muffins are absurdly easy to make; their only two ingredients are a can of pumpkin and your choice of chocolate cake mix. Honestly, they’re that simple. While the finished product is more chocolatey as far as flavor is concerned, the pumpkin does a great deal for the texture, making these muffins fluffy, moist and indulgent. Feel free to use any cake mix you like – I’ve tried this recipe with several different mixes and have yet to find one that doesn’t work. That said, these muffins could easily be made gluten-free, low-carb, or even Paleo-friendly with the appropriate cake mix.
