    Yummy! This is very similar to the Hungry Girl chocolate cupcakes made with a can of pumpkin.
    Just a box of devil's food cake mix combined with a regular size can of pumpkin. Here's the link:
    http://www.hungry-girl.com/newsletters/raw/367



    Check out these ROCKIN' recipes from Hungry Girl!


    The Devil Made Me Chew It
    Yum Yum Brownie Muffins


    (1 Muffin, or 3 minis - 181 calories, 3.5g fat, 37g carbs, 2g fiber, 2g protein -- PointsPlus® value 5*)

    This super-simple 2-ingredient recipe is a Weight Watchers Fave!

    1 box devil's food cake mix
    1 can solid pack pumpkin (15 oz.)

    Directions:
    Mix the two ingredients together. Don't add anything else that may be mentioned on the box, such as eggs, oil, or water. The mixture will be very thick and you will be tempted to add in other things to make the batter smoother. DO NOT DO THIS AS IT WILL RUIN EVERYTHING! Place batter into muffin tins (or mini muffin tins) lined with paper, or sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Makes 12 regular or 36 mini muffins.
    Whenever I have tried using pumpkin in recipes like this, it always turns out rubbery - tastes horrible!- I use pumpkin, not pie filling...any thoughts on what is going wrong? I really like the idea of pumpkin because of its health benefits.thanks!

    Looks yummy. I was just thinking, I bet you could do peach with like a butter recipe or yellow cake mix and it would satisfy my craving for peach cobbler. Thanks for the inspiration!

    I do a similar one to this that doesn't turn out rubbery and are very good. My daughter and I enjoy making them because you can eat the batter without the egg worry

    Makes 24 cupcakes (regular size)
    Preheat oven to 350

    Box of Devils Food cake mix (or spice cake mix is delicious too)
    1 can (15 oz) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
    1/2 cup water
    mix well
    (by hand or using mixer I like mixing together by hand to blend then using a mixer seems to get lumps out better and makes them fluffier)

    line cupcake pan with the aluminum foil liners (I find even with the spray they stick to the paper and taste weird when cooked in pan)
    scoop mix into liners
    Bake for 30 minutes

    with the spice cake it's yummy to add a few dark chocolate chips to a few of the cupcakes for a extra treat

    Looks delicious! You can also use soda with most box cake mixes. Just add one can of soda to your mix and bake, it comes out amazingly. It's an old weight watchers trick, I hear.

    would the liquid (soda) need to be reduced to 1/4 cup - the water that is called for in this recipe - I think the pie filling and soda would make the batter too runny...but not sure ...thoughts????

    For her recipe you only use the cake mix and can of soda - no pie filling. If you used both it would definitely be too much liquid. :)
