It doesn’t get much easier to make unless you buy them premade. Chocolate Chunk Muffins need only 2 ingredients, 3 if you want chunky chocolate chips added.

Chocolate Chunk Muffins

Chocolate Chunk Muffins are a quick and easy snack, dessert, breakfast, or brunch item that’s super easy to make.

I love these because they’re not too sweet, which I like for breakfast.

Don’t get me wrong, they satisfy, but without that over-the-top sweetness.

In fact, if you want a touch more sweetness, by all means frost them.

Food for thought (pun intended) they’re delicious with Strawberry Milk Shake Frosting and a sprinkle of Strawberry Crunch Topping.

Making Chocolate Chunk Muffins

Like I said, you only need 2 ingredients.

First, a box of Devil’s Food cake mix. You can find one most anywhere.

Second, a can of pure pumpkin. Not pumpkin pie filling, just pure pumpkin.

Mix these 2 ingredients together and they’re ready for the oven, and yes, the batter is thick.

Adding baking chips

Ok, let’s add a 3rd ingredient.

My favorite are peanut butter baking chips. Peanut butter with chocolate has always been my favorite pairing.

I also love straight up chocolate chips.

I added the chunky chocolate chips, hence the name Chocolate Chunk Muffins, but you can use whatever you have.

Semi-sweet, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, confetti, white chocolate…they’re all good.

Baking time

This recipe makes an even dozen, so you’ll need one muffin pan with liners.

Preheat the oven to 375°, although it won’t stay there.

Put the muffins in the oven to bake, but then reduce the temperature to 350°.

Bake for approx. 25 minutes, or when a toothpick comes out clean.

Let them cool in the pan for just a few minutes, then remove them and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
