My Chocolate Muffins have just three ingredients, are so easy to make, and taste amazing! Rich chocolate muffins with a hint of pumpkin and lots of chocolate chips are perfect for snacks and breakfast. They’re so good they even pass the kid test!
Chocolate Muffins that taste like Brownies
These Pumpkin Brownie Muffins have only 3 ingredients and taste like the most chocolatey breakfast you’ll ever try.
I think my most favorite thing about these chocolate muffins is that they are the perfect excuse to have chocolate for breakfast. I mean, is there anything better?
They are so easy – three ingredients easy – and taste like the most chocolaty breakfast you’ll ever try. It’s probably not a secret what the three ingredients are – the title pretty much gives it away.
3 Ingredient Chocolate Muffins
So, they may not look like it but these are actually better chocolate muffins because you don’t add things like oil, eggs, or milk. Pumpkin puree takes the place of those ingredients and so they’re a lot lighter than a regular muffin.
- Chocolate Cake Mix – any brand
- Pumpkin Puree – not pumpkin pie mix
- Chocolate Chips – which are optional
If you’re worried, let me reassure you – you cannot taste the pumpkin at all. They’ve passed multiple kid tests with flying colors and my daughter, who can detect a healthy swap a mile away, couldn’t tell they were made with pumpkin. She loves them even after I spilled the beans about the secret ingredient.
These easy muffins are rich, dense and so chocolaty.
How to make Easy Chocolate Muffins
- Add pumpkin and cake mix to a large bowl. Stir until smooth.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Place in muffin pans with muffin liners (be sure to spray them with nonstick spray).
- Bake until a toothpick comes out clean.

Greetings! These muffins look great 🙂 Can I freeze ?
Yes, in an airtight container.
I was wondering if this could be made into a 9×12 cake?
You should be able to bake in a 9×13-inch pan as long as the mix you use has that option on it.
Amazing texture. Fluffy, moist and taste like cake. I can smell the pumpkin and a faint taste of it.
I made these as cookies. They were really good. I will save this recipe for sure!
I loved it. I quickly gobbled up 2. I dont think that the calories are correct, so I reduced the chips to 1/2 cup (and none on top) in attempt to decrease the calories a bit. It still tasted so good. I can’t believe how tender and moist they are, and so simple!
