Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cupcakes
Yields: 24 cupcakes
These pumpkin cupcakes with cake mix are laced with chocolate chips and are soft, moist, and delicious. Top with your favorite frosting and festive sprinkles.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 3 eggs, large
- frosting and sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two cupcake pans with cooking spray, then fill with cupcake liners. Set pans aside.
- In a small bowl, add the chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of cake mix, then toss until the chips are coated. Set bowl side.
- Using a stand mixer (or hand mixer + large bowl), add the remaining cake mix, water, butter, eggs, and pumpkin spice and mix on medium speed until combined, about 2-3 minutes. Add the pumpkin and mix for an additional minute until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Keeping speed on medium, add the pumpkin and mix for 1 minute.
- Remove bowl from mixer. Add chocolate chips to bowl and use a spatula to gently fold them into the batter.
- Pour batter into the prepared cupcake pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full (about 3-4 tablespoons per.)
- Bake cupcakes for 18-21 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let rest for 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Decorate with frosting and sprinkles as desired.
