June 15: Baking Day -- Chocolate Muffins

Chocolate muffins (or Black Muffins, as Koen calls them) are a favorite around our house!  They NEVER last longer than two days, unless it's a double batch.  It's a simple and quick recipe but quite tasty and actually healthy for us with all the fiber in them.  I originally got the recipe from a Weight Watchers meeting.  If you'd like to try them for yourself, here's the recipe!

Chocolate Muffins: 
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 small can pumpkin (like Libby's Pumpkin)
1/4 cup water
(we like to add in some chocolate chips as well)

Mix the ingredients together and place the batter in greased muffin tins (or use paper liners in the tins).  Bake for 18 minutes at 350 degrees.  Yield 18 muffins

Variation:  While we didn't make them this week, we also enjoy Pumpkin Muffins made the same way.  Simply use Spice Cake Mix instead of the Chocolate Cake Mix and keep everything else the same.
