I am running low on stuff but my three year old wants to make muffins. Anyone have a lower calorie muffin I can make with her? I dont have any brown sugar, fresh fruit ( just ran out) I dont have any apple sauce either. If not a muffin ( she was watching Max and Ruby) Maybe something else. I do have pumpkin and stuff on hand.

    If you have a cake mix and a can of pumpkin, mix them together and bake as directed for cupcakes (18) Fabulous with chocolate, spice or red velvet cake!!

    I made these today, they are wonderful! I used muffin liners, the muffins stuck to the liners a little, and I added a few more chocolate chips.

    You might already know this but if you coat ur chips in a little flour they wont all sink nd it helps to keep them from stickin also.

    1) Combine Cake mix, spices and pumpkin a bowl. Mix with electric mixer until smooth. (mix will start to puff up if you just leave it out, so don't let it sit to long).
