How to Make Yummy Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix and 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree and 1/2 cup water.
  4. Gradually add the pumpkin mixture to the cake mix and butter, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. If the batter is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Fill each muffin cup ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Top with your favorite chocolate frosting (optional).
