How To Make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins with 3 Ingredients (Quick Overview)
The steps below are just a quick overview of how to make the muffins. The full process in detail is located in the recipe card at the end of the post.
Preheat the oven, prep the muffin pan, and gather your ingredients. You don’t need to add anything to the cake mix – you’ll be using the dry mix in this recipe.
You can use semi-sweet, milk, dark, or white chocolate chips in this recipe.
Trust the process and resist the urge to modify the recipe. I promise your muffins will turn out great!
Add the pumpkin puree and dry cake mix to a bowl and mix on low until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Make sure not to overmix.
Add the chocolate chips…
… and gently fold them in.
Add them to your prepared muffin pan. If you like, you can sprinkle some additional chocolate chips on top of the muffins.
The batter is pretty sticky. I usually scoop it into each liner using a cookie scoop and then flatten the top of each muffin with the back of a spoon that’s been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake, then cool on a wire rack. Look at these beautiful muffins 😍
