So what do you do when you are going away for the weekend, need some snacky type of food and something for a quick breakfast?! You run to Butter Yum's blog and search through all her yummy recipes. She posted these muffins a week ago. They looked so good and of course so easy I just had to try them.
Unfortunately, they didn't survive 12 hours. Lots of happy faces and tummies though.
So....
I just had to change them up a bit cause I can't leave well enough alone!
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Spice Muffins
1 Spice cake mix
1 can Pumpkin puree
1/2 - 3/4 cup water
1/2 bag mini chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In medium mixing bowl, combine cake mix and pumpkin. I found that when I used a name brand pumpkin it was a bit drier and I used 3/4 cup of water. This time using a store brand, I used 1/2 cup of water. Add water 1/4 cup at a time, mix will be on the stiff side. Add chocolate chips.
Add liners to muffin pan. Evenly distribute mix into 12 liners.
Bake in 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Let cool, if you can.
These muffins just can't be described. Smooth and creamy is what they are!
If that isn't enough....
I got another award! This one is from the talented Sabrina @ Eat, Drink and Be Merry! Thank you so much Sabrina for including me! I am so honored!
So now for 7 things you may not know about me.
Hmmm....
1. I am a total clutz! If there is a way to hurt myself, I will find it! Just today, I was playing in the yard with the kids. We were throwing these fluffy chunks of snow in the air and the dog was jumping for them. You had to hold them gently cause they would just disintegrate in your hands. I took one and told my son "Watch my incredible strength!" I smacked the top of my head with the snow clump. I do believe that I grabbed the only one that had a brick in the middle of it! Holy crap that hurt! I am hoping that the lump on my forehead turns purple so I can really feel stupid.
2. I love gadgets!
3. I like pumping gas cause I really like the smell of it.
4. I have realized that the fatter I get, the more I love to cook!
5. I hate peas!
6. I love scary movies but hate zombie and gory movies. If they are going to eat somebody in it, forget it!
7. Sometimes I take my shoes off without untying them even though I yell at my kids for doing that.
So there ya go! A few disturbing facts about me that you probably could of lived without knowing.
Now to pass it on to 10 bloggers!

Enjoy your weekend!

Have fun in BC and thanks for the muffin recipe, I might even have all of the ingredients! I'm clumsy too and have the bruises on my legs to prove it, one good reason that I do not wear a swim suit very often. well that and your #4 except I don't really like to cook I just NEED to! xoxo
The muffins sound good Maggie, I'm sure everyone loved them! Happy Weekend:@)
I made these just this morning. I used Libby pumpkin and Duncan Hines Spice Cake mix and nothing else. And they were great! Last week I made them with a chocolate cake mix and they were the best chocolate muffins ever...they didn't taste like pumpkin at all. I'm going to try a different cake mix flavor next time...perhaps red velvet and we'll see how that turns out.

Those muffin's look so good.....I could do with one right now !

Hi Maggie,
Those muffins look dangerous! I'm amazed how many things we have in common! Never untie my shoes and when served peas I used to swallow one at a time as if they were pills!
How did it go at the State Finals?!
Your Friend,
Deborah
Those muffins sound delicious. I am going to make them for my niece for her 21st birthday! That way I can have one or two myself.
Loved your seven things about you. I am a clutz to, I can't seem to walk through my house or my yard without falling. I can fall while standing still.
