3 Ingredient Devil`s Food Cake Muffins

Copycat Chocolate Chip Muffins

One day, I decided to rummage through my pantry on a quest to cure my sweet tooth.

I walked in and all of a sudden my FitBit on my wrist buzzed. It was only 4pm and I had already hit my step goal for the day!

Woohoo!

Except…now my sweet tooth felt a bit guilty!

So I decided to try a “healthy” treat recipe I had once heard about at a Weight Watcher meeting.

I don’t often have boxed cake mix in the pantry, but on this day I happened to have a box of Devil’s Food. I ended up choosing this because it only needed 3 ingredients.

I also had a can of pumpkin puree and some semi sweet chocolate chips.

So what did I do?

I made muffins!

This is so simple and quick, and I honestly believe you canNOT taste the pumpkin!

BTW, if you keep them covered, the next day they taste just like an Otis Spunkmeyer Chocolate Chip Muffin! My fave!

3 Ingredient Devil’s Food Muffins

Ingredients:

  • 1 box Devil’s Food Cake Mix
  • 1 15 oz can of pumpkin puree
  • About 6 oz of semisweet chocolate chips

Directions: 

  1. Mix all of the ingredients together. Pour the batter into 24 cupcake liners (you might want to spray the cupcake liners with cooking spray since this batter is THICK and might stick) using (2) 12 ct cupcake tins.
  2. Bake for about 25 minutes in a 350 degree oven

Simple and quick! Definitely not health food, but perhaps healthIER food? 😉

    why are the cupcakes/muffins mis-shapened in your photo?

      The batter is thicker and they don’t rise as “smooth” as regular cupcakes would.

    Sounds good – but do you know how many calories for each?

    Dry Cake mix -160 calories
    pumpkin puree – 175 calories
    Mini Chocolate chips – 840 calories
    That equals 1175. Didvide that by the # of muffins you get from the mix. I got 20 muffins so they are basically 58 calories each.

    I assume you don’t add the egg and oil or water to the cake mix as it requires? Thanks!

    Perhaps adding some water or applesauce to thin the batter a bit, might help them rise ‘neater.’

    I added a half can of water- using the can from the pumpkin. Turned out neater but I’m wondering what the texture is like not using it. I got 40 muffins.

      Were they light and fluffy? 40 muffins is a lot! Were they full size?

    these are yummy, but the Devils food cake mix is 160 calories per serving for the dry mix. My box yielded 12 servings making the cake mix 1,920. 12 big muffins is 175 per muffin. Good, but not eat the whole pan good:(

      Definitely not eat the whole pan good. But better than by the box instructions!
