Spice cake - pumpkin - chocolate chip "cupcake" muffins

One of our mommy friends makes these delicious muffins.  I did not get her recipe but have been told by many that it is super easy. just using three ingredients... yes, just three ingredients.  The three ingredients are 

• a package of spice cake
• 15 oz can of pumkin
• and chocolate chips... BUT
• I added an egg and a splash of water

That is it!  Well, I did one batch and tried it.. delicious and easy, but I needed a bit more.. so I added a heaping tablespoon of brown sugar, some dashes of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger (all ground) and I had a little helper.

Wash your hands first

Just teasing! They were bloody red though and delicious!

Red velvet cake box mix with pumpkin (cupcakes or muffins and cookies, oh my!)

1 (18 1/4-ounce) package red velvet cake mix
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons butter, melted (but not hot, don't wanna cook the egg)
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
1 heaping tablespoon Nutella (optional - I just had it on the counter)

Add the dry ingredients listed first to a mixing bowl. Scramble the egg and the 2nd set of ingredients together, then pour into the dry ingredients. I did not know how soft and easy pumpkin was to work with (it was my first time ever!), put in a whole can of it, with some Nutella (completely optional, it tastes good and was on the counter.. I have three jars that I won!). Mix all ingredients well.. then add to your choice: cupcake pan, drop on to cookie sheet, or even in a cake pan - so versatile!)
I baked at 350ºF for 18 minutes, but check at 15 minutes.

I might have added a dash of ground cloves, too! I forget.. but I brought icing with me to the mom's group/playdate and some mommies chose to lather these bad boys up with the icing -- YUM YUM!!!! Enjoy!
