3 Ingredient Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ok, y'all, these are the easiest and tastiest muffins I've had in a long time.  And, even better, they are relatively "healthy" and only have 3 ingredients - that's it!  Get ready to get your seasonal pumpkin-loving taste buds going...


Easy as 1-2-3, both for ingredients and steps!

Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mike (yep, just the mix itself - NO eggs, oil, water, etc.)
1 can (15oz) Libby's Pumpkin
1 cup chocolate chips (I used regular semi-sweet morsels, but mini morsels would be fun too)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.  Grease muffin pan - or use cupcake papers.

2. Combine 3 ingredients in a large mixing bowl.  Spoon into greased muffin pan. (The muffins didn't rise too much, so you can fill each cup up near the top.)

3. Bake for 12-14 minutes.  Remove from oven and dump out on baking rack to cool.


Aren't they pretty in that festive Fall orange hue?  This recipe made me about 50  mini muffins - which admittedly didn't last very long...at all.  The muffins are very moist, even without oil, thanks to the pumpkin!

P.S. I was told by my friend who gave me the recipe that each muffin is only 1 Weight Watchers point.  Not certain if that is mini muffins or larger muffins, but that's the story and I'm totally sticking to it! :)

Anyone try muffins like these before?  Any other easy (or healthy) muffin recipes we should try?  My friend Mindy, over at Rindy Mae blog, posted a delicious muffin recipe today too - check 'em out {here}.

  1. This seems so easy! My very favorite kind of recipe. ;) One WW point is killer too. I am jump kicking a diet, so def conscious of that.

  2. My daughter and I just made this same recipe a few days ago! Ours resulted in a total of 18 regular sized (though not puffy) muffins. I calculated the calories to be about 110 per muffin - not bad considering how satisfying they are :)
