These muffins are a fall staple of mine, because pumpkin is so perfectly fall-esque. These muffin bites are so easy to whip up, even my young girls can do it with minimal supervision. They are delicious and simple, an excellent combination. I first heard about these a few years ago from a friend. I’ve never seen a written recipe, so I don’t know who to give credit, but whoever it is: THANK YOU!!
- 1 box spice cake mix (or any flavor if you're feeling like experimenting ... chocolate-chocolate anyone???)
- 1 can pumpkin
- 1 cup mini-chocolate chips
- Combine ingredients in a bowl (don't add anything extra ingredients the cake mix lists).
- Spoon out into a greased muffin tin or line muffin tin with papers. I prefer using a mini-muffin form. I think they are just better in bite-size form.
- Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes.
- Cool and serve! Delicious!
I do have something to confess about this pumpkin bite recipe … it works with other flavors of cakes too, though spice cake is our favorite. We actually enjoy this recipe year-round. It is like, for real, a family favorite.
I hope you are all enjoying your fall so far. We’ve enjoyed all the fun events and chances to be together as a family. The kids love dressing up in their costume for all the different parties, and I love putting them to good use. The school carnival was a special treat.

Happy Fall!

Mary, I picked up the ingredients last night and made these this morning! They turned out so delicious! I made them in mini muffin tins like you suggested and I love having them bite-sized! 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing!!
Yay! Glad you tried them and loved them like us. They are just too easy, my kids look forward to them every year now. 🙂
What size can of pumpkin do you use?
Please and Thank You! 🙂
The smaller of the two sizes of canned pumpkin. The size meant for 1 pie instead of 2.
Can you make these in regular or jumbo muffin pans?
I’ve never tried, but let me know if you try it and it works!
I have made them both ways. I used a bunt pan greased and cream cheese frosting. Cook bunt pan at 350 degrees for 40 To 60 minutes just test depending on your oven. Cool on a rack up side down when removed from oven. When cooled frost top and sides. Yummy and so good!!!
Sounds good, thanks for the tips!
