Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

This is Weight Watchers friendly.


Ingredients:

1 box Spice cake mix
15 oz can of pumpkin
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions:

Do not add the eggs, oil, etc that the cake mix tells you to add. Mix the pumpkin and cake mix well. Mix in chocolate chips and fill the each muffin full (They barely expand). Bake for 18-22 minutes in a 350 degrees.

M walked in and stole a muffin when I wasn't looking. He stopped mid chew and handed it back to me. He hated them and I LOVE them. They are delish and so moist, even my bff loved them. I can't believe all you need is a can of pumpkin and a box of cake and that's it. Chocolate chips are optional but always delicious to add.

Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes

Ingredients:

Cake:

1 (18 1/4-ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted

Filling:

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan.

To make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter, and beat together. Next, add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mix well. Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey.
Serve with fresh whipped cream.

Variations:

For a Pineapple Gooey Cake: Instead of the pumpkin, add a drained 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple to the cream cheese filling. Proceed as directed above.

For a Banana Gooey Cake: Prepare cream cheese filling as directed, beating in 2 ripe bananas instead of the pumpkin. Proceed as directed above.

For a Peanut Butter Gooey Cake: Use a chocolate cake mix. Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter to the cream cheese filling instead of the pumpkin. Proceed as directed above.

I made this last Halloween and all of my friends and myself loved it. I put it in the oven a few mins longer and used spice cake mix instead of the yellow cake mix. I recommend the spice cake mix.
